Description

During the deletion of the autocomplete entry in the page
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/import-or-copy-the-autocomplete-list-to-another-computer-83558574-20dc-4c94-a531-25a42ec8e8f0

i was trying to DELETE an autocomplete 'msg' using the utility ... but everytime i try to delete the msg, the utility exits. If I try importing the copy of the 'msg' of the autocomplete i'm trying to preserve, it shows up but only until the utility exits. When i return to the outlook profile, the autocomplete msg i imported is gone. I understand it's important to delete the existing autocomplete 'msg' before importing the new one. ... but how do you do that if the utility keeps exiting??

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash while deleting an autocomplete “msg” in MFCMAPI, using the Outlook autocomplete import and deletion steps described in the issue. Trace the deletion path and capture the failure; done means the utility no longer exits unexpectedly and the intended autocomplete entry remains available after import.
