When I have e-mailed someone before, the e-mail address is saved so that if I
compose a new mail message to them, the e-mail address comes up after only
typing in a few letters of their name or e-mail address. I have now lost this
on my outlook, how do i get this back? I am now having to type in the full
e-mail address of people I have e-mailed before, when normally the address
would come up.

Did you disable the option (Tools>Options>E-mail Options>Advanced E-mail
Options>Suggest names while completing...)? If so, reenable it. If the
option is enabled and you are entering an address to which you've sent mail
before, then it's likely the connection between the cache and the mail
profile has been damaged. Create a new mail profile and rename te existing
cache file to match the name of the new profile. See this:
