New Mail, in the TO: field, previous contacts not appearing

For some reason, when I create new mail and I'm adding the emal address in
the TO:, CC: or BCC: fields the usual list of previously used email addresses
does not pop up. Or only a small portion of those contacts. Where is this
list generated from? What would clear the list or not continue to populate
the list as before? Is there a setting or addin controlling this. I'm using
Office 2010 beta and this all worked when I installed it but for some reason
over the past week or so, something changed and I'm lucky if I have one or
two suggested contacts

Here's an explanation of how it worked before Outlook 2010:

In Outlook 2010, the autocompletion cache is in the default data store. It
should work the same, but perhaps it doesn't. It's beta software. This isn't
the right place to ask beta software questions. Ask in

I see you in the Answers forum you found the solution. You should post it
here, too.
