Profile consists more then 1 Exchange and may be (or not) some IMAP accounts. At the time Autocomplete suggests the same e-mails for whole profile that is for each account in the profile independently of using (for sending) account within the profile. It would be greate to choose Autocomplete feature behavior - per profile or per account, at least for Exchange accounts in the profile, even more so Autocomplete list records is in Exchange mdb storage in the server side and, attention please, list for each user is in server storage for each user in other words for each account that is kept in the user mailbox in server storage.

Unfortunately, at this time Outlook displays one autocomplete list for all accounts in the profile.

The cache is at %localappdata%\microsoft\outlook\RoamCache - type or paste it into the address bar of windows explorer to just to the folder.

You are not completely right. May be right, but not completely. You are right about OL prior OL2010, but not about Exchange2010 and OL2010/OL2013. I know about this files, more over, if you delete it, anyway Autocomplete list will not be empty, will still be working an OL will suggest records. You can test it in your own. It is not danger. :) I have spent some investigation and got that Autocomplete list records is stored in Exchange 2010 mdb server storage for user mailbox (meaning for individual account, not for profile) in PR_ROAMING_BINARYSTREAM property (PidTagRoamingBinary Canonical Property) in the Associated Contents table of the Inbox as IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete hidden message class. The autocomplete data may be temporarily cached in an autocomplete .dat file located in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache. However, the .dat file is only a cache and is not used to write back to the delivery store when the user exits Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013. Look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff625288.aspx So for OL2010/2013 it is more logically that it would work for each Exchange account in a profile. And I posted it in wish list as my wishing.

The list is stored in the data file for each account and there is a separate stream (dat file) for each account - but outlook merges them into the list it shows you. It's possible a future update will change the behavior - it seems like they built it like this so they could expand it in the future.

It' s additionally stored locally as you could see at link above. I know about separate cache file (local) per account. But the main storage is in mdb. And could you call or ask OL dev team or Exchange dev team to include such behavior in the nearest OL2010 update & in OL2013 ? Or may as different dll (as I know this function is in office.dll or mso.dll) ? I can become the tester of it and test it hardly. :) Especially I have fully ready environment.

And about merging all records from all profiles in one list. At least in one case it is not quite right. I have some "paired" users with different legacyExchangeDN attribute, proxyAddress but with the same e-mail address and the same mail nick and one is visible in GAL of one account and not visible in GAL of other account and other user is vise versa. I saw 2 different .dat files for two accounts by NK2Edit, these users are correctly stored (saved) to these files, has almost the same record weight, but OL2010 shows only last used for sending to record not matter which account is used at the moment account (meaning - first sending to: user1 <user[at]domain> from account2; second sending to: user2 <user[at]domain> from account1, and suggested user2 <user[at]domain> only) . Such paired user is to allow some multitenant configuration in Exchange installed not as "Hosted" . The most right way of per account Autocomplete list is enquiring Exchange mdb storage, and showing list (that is suggested) from data got from mapi property (I wrote above) from IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete class message only and these values should be written to local .dat files and got in the same way of getting from Exchange if it is down. By the way, Autocomplete list works correctly even for such "paired" users when I use multi OL instances (with ExtraOutlook) .
