contacts not going into TO automatically

[janhemt]

hi, why arent my contacts going into the to when starting a new email, some
of them do, and some dont, thanks

The auto-complete in Windows Mail just doesn't work correctly.
It keeps a separate list of the last 29 addresses you've typed in, including
bad ones. This list is kept in the registry (in binary).

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

Just click on the link in my sig... download the installer, uncheck the
stuff you don't want, and install it.

By "newer version" you mean Windows Live Mail? It is not just a
newer version of Windows Mail, but a completely new program.
What parts of Windows Live Mail are not working, sending, receiving,
contacts? Did it import your contacts from Windows Mail?
