In the ' To: ' line, the name of the person does not fill in automatically
when the first letter of the name is typed in, even though the person's name
is in windows mail contacts. It works on only a couple of names! how do i
fix this?

Auto Complete of addresses in WM only remembers names that have been
previously accessed, after that it will retain 29 entries in its memory, we
have not found a method of removing any mistyped entries from the Auto
Complete list, so be careful.

If you click on the word To: in a new mail it will open the address book,
type in the top search box and select the contact into the To, cc, or bcc
field on the right.

It also should be mentioned that auto-completion works much better
in Windows Live Mail, which is recommended for those who want
a better email program:
