Advanced e-mail options, autocomplete function

[Guest]

In Outlook, when I go to the Tools menu and click on Options, then go to
General and click on E-mail, I don't see an advanced e-mail button to click
on when I'm trying to turn on autocomplete function. Am I in the right place
for this? For some reason Outlook periodically stops checking e-mail
addresses against address book . . .

You didn't say what version of Outlook you're using.

Thanks, Sue-- Outlook 2003. I found the advanced e-mail options button. The
box that says Suggest names when completing To: Bcc: etc, is checked, so I'm
still confused as to why Outlook's not offering suggestions when I start to
type in a name.

The autocomplete list (.nk2 file) could either be corrupted or not have any matching entries yet. It has nothing to do with the address book.

Is there a fix? I've been using this program/computer for three years. Thanks

Delete the .nk2 file associated with your mail profile, and Outlook should start building a new one from the messages you send.
