email address book

[Guest]

I am new to vista and not very computer savy at this point. I have imported
my address book successfully. I am using earthlink as a provider and have
spent an hour with them doing a remote check to see why the names in my
address book will not pop up when I am trying t send an email. When I hit
reply, the name will come up. They have told me that it is a problem with
windows mail. Any suggestions?

Try clicking on the symbol to the right of the triangle to the right of
Send/Receive in the main Windows Mail window, or on Tools and
the Select Recipients in the new message window.

The auto-complete doesn't work well in Windows Mail. The newer Windows Live
Mail works much better.

Click on the word To in front of the field and you should see your lost of
Contacts.
