windows live mail sucks.........
when i forward an email or write an email to multiple people, i now have to
type every address individually, i used to be able to just type the first
letter, am i doing something wrong, is there an easier to send email to
multiple without writing each whole address?? i have gotten no help from
windows help, if this is the way this is i would rather go back to outlook
express, but unfortunately windows live is the new outlook express, i guess i
shoudl just blow off windows live mail and get a yahoo address,or hotmail, it
was much easier and easier to get help
 
That is known as the auto-complete function.
Windows Mail does not auto-complete from your contacts.
It uses a separate list of the last 29 recipients you've sent mail to.

The auto-complete feature works perfectly in the replacement
program, Windows Live Mail, which uses the standard contacts list
for auto-completion.
You are encouraged to upgrade to the newer WLM program:

Well, if you regularly send things to a "Group" of friends consider
creating a Group address, and if you really do want something that looks
and feels like Outlook Express you could try Mozilla Thunderbird. WLM
should work fine so I think you probably just need to change a setting.
If something really is broken you will get help with it here, but please
be patient. Nobody here works for Microsoft and we all have to fit this
in with our "Day Job".
 
1. You are posting to Windows Mail newsgroup. Windows Mail remembers only
the LAST 29 names you had used. Beyond that, you have to open the contact
list, copy/paste the addresses.
2. Windows Mail is the " new outlook express ", NOT Windows Live Mail.
3. Windows Live Mail remembers ALL addresses, type a letter or 2 and you'll
have a list to choose from. Obviously, you do not have Windows Live Mail.
