الحل المُختار

Autofill suggestions come from your Address Book. The mis-spelled address is almost certainly in an address book named Collected Addresses. Find it there, edit it and move it to your preferred address book.

An easy way to locate it would be to create a new message to the incorrect address and save it as a Draft. Open the draft message, click on the yellow star next to the address, select Edit and a dialogue box will appear, where you can edit, delete or move the Contact entry.
