Contacts - Auto-complete only works for a few contacts in my list

[Toddchuk]

For some reason the auto complete feature in the "to" field (or CC, BCC)
isn't working with many of my contacts. The list was imported from Outlook
express on an old computer running XP

you need to type the first 3 characters of the name.
also WM uses a separate list of last 29 addresses used.

Yes, and after three characters, still not there. I have over a hundred
names in my contacts...Will WM only auto complete for 29?? Outlook express
did it for ALL of my contacts.

Switch to the newer Windows Live Mail. It works better, particularly in
this regard.

yeah only for the LAST 29 you have used.

WHY , have no idea.
probably one of the foreign programmers they hired could not count any higher than that in english.
