Hi Rob,
I know it doesn't help much, but problems with autocomplete in KMail were
described several times in the past, in this newsgroup. If I were you, I
would try a quick intra-group search.

There are ways of flushing all these addresses (by editing files or using the
front-ends), as well of ways of customising/disabling the feature. If it
makes you feel any better, Thunderbird presents some of the same problems. I
wish I had good/better integration between a PDA and the mail client
personally, which is why Web-based with conduits seems like a tempting
option. I am filled with worried as a lot of stuff seems to be heading that
way (responsive Web-based UI's).
Best wishes,
Roy
