There is always a related question regarding autocomplete feature on OWA. In outlook the auto complete gets stored in *.NK2. Where does it store for OWA ? The Auto Complete cache is stored as part of the user’s profile on the Exchange Server.
Is it possible to use Auto Complete cache via EWS ?
Hey Deva,
I have a question about this autocomplete in OWA. It seems that all the users on one of our Exchange servers suddenly lost all of their OWA autocomplete data at once. I've been going crazy trying to figure this out. Do you know enough about the way the data is stored to determine what could erase it from the server side? We tried moving a test mailbox to another server, but that didn't clear the data.
Any insight you could provide would be very helpful!
Thanks,
Mike
Hello Mike,
By default, the AutoComplete Cache list is saved in your mailbox. It is loaded when you click the New button to open a new message.
In order to proceed further i can suggest you the following two ways (non-programmatic options):
1. Delete an entry from the list using OWA
2. Delete the entire list using OWA
1. Delete an entry from the list using OWA:
To remove one entry of the list, highlight the name in the list (arrow up and arrow down allow you to highlight the name you want to remove, and press the Delete button on your keyboard).
To remove all entries in the list, you can log on to your mailbox using Outlook Web Access Light
Go to Options - Messaging - Under Email Name Resolution - Click “Clear Most Recent Recipients List”
Try this out and let me know whether this helps or not.

can/is roaming autocomplete backed up normally?
if roaming autocomplete gets corrupt can we restore from backed up copy?
