Friend requested an email change. I purged the old address from the
Address book and from Previous Reciepinets in mail, but the old address
still comes up as an alternative. How do I get rid of this?

No idea what the correct method is. What I do:
start a new message
begin entering recipient
stop typing when "bad" address shows
click it (maybe right-click?)
choose forget address

What you did should work, unless perhaps there is more than one email
account?

In the mail.app, go to the Window menu and select Previous Recipients.
This will pop up a window with all your old addresses in them. Find
that sucker and delete it.

I think it will also present as auto-completion options the from
addresses of any received mail you have.

Yep, it shows them all. If the original poster is still getting the
address popping up after he's deleted one of the addresses, it means
he's got other variations in there he need to search out and destroy.
