Windows Mail Contacts

[maryhruth]

I would like to be able to start typing an address that I have in Contacts,
and have it complete automatically. This works fine if I have very recently
emailed the person, but it goes away after just a couple days. Any way to
increase the life span of this very useful aid?

Windows Mail auto-completes from a separate list of 29 addresses you type
in, not from your contacts. This list is stored in the registry.

If you wish to remove old or incorrect addresses, there is a utility to
clear recently used email addresses in Windows Mail...

To retrieve addresses from your contacts folder, click on the To: button.

This is one of the features that works properly in the newer Windows Live
Mail.
