EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK

[R/E RICH]

WHEN I SEND AN EMAIL TO A FRIEND AND IT HAS BEEN MORE THEN 5 DAYS SINCE I
HAVE EMAILED HIM OR HER, I HAVE TO RETYPE THE COMPLETE ADDRESS, OVER AGAIN,
MY SYSTEM DOES NOT REMEMBER THE ADDRESS??????

There are several ways to address that. First, make sure your correspondents get
added to your list of contacts: Tools, Options, Send, check the box for
"Automatically put people..."

Next, when you start a new email, click the To button, which will bring up your list
of contacts. If you simply start typing in the To field, it uses the auto-complete feature.
Unfortunately, Windows Mail does not auto-complete from your contacts.
It uses a separate list of the last 29 recipients you've sent mail to.

The auto-complete feature works perfectly in the replacement email program,
Windows Live Mail, which uses the standard contacts list for auto-completion.
You are encouraged to upgrade to the newer WLM program:

Incidentally, it is not customary to type in ALL CAPS here.
