Abstract
A method is proposed for automatically updating and maintaining email contact information for various contacts stored in a contact database within or outside of an email application without requiring an individual to manually verify and update email addresses. The method flags an invalid email address of a destination individual when an error message is received indicative of mail delivery failure. Another available email address of the destination individual is then automatically designated as their primary address.
