The list is refined with each character you type. You can remove one or more entries in the Recent People list. If you hover your mouse over the entry, you'll see an X to the right of the person's entry. Click that X to delete the person's name and email address from the Auto-Complete List.

This doesn't remove the person from your Contacts folder or other address book. You can also use the arrow keys to move through the list, and when you reach the person's name that you want to delete, you can press the Delete key.

Once a recipient name is removed, it won't appear again in the Auto-Complete List unless you deliberately select it from your Contacts list or type the address in manually.

When addressing a field with the user's own email address, the field pops up a small list offering the incorrect and correct version in that order alphabetical. There is no "X" there like Outlook has. Since we did not import anything at all from past settings on the other computer, I can only assume these suggestions here come from scraping the current contents of the IMAP folders.

I did find and disable one option that would add to contacts anyone recently corresponded with. The contact list is empty. It doesn't prevent the bad address from appearing in the "suggested" contacts.
