How to auto-fill addressess

[Masar]

How to set settings to enable auto-fill when typin email addresses in the
address field?

'Tools|Options|Sent', add a checkmark to the "Automatically complete email
addresses when composing". Note that this does not reference your Contacts,
it uses a separate list of the last 29 addresses you used.

The auto-complete function in Windows Mail works very poorly.
I recommend upgrading to Windows Live Mail where it works perfectly.

If I upgrade to Windows Life Mail, will this have any effect on my current
emails, address book etc?

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

No effect. Whatever you have in Windows Mail stays there, and you
can go back to it anytime.

When you install Windows Live Mail, it makes a copy of everything in
Windows Mail, and it imports the copied information.

Email accounts in WLM each have their own set of folders in WLM(Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Junk, Deleted) and all accounts one common
Outbox
- unlike WM which has one Inbox, Drafts, etc for all accounts.

Will I have both Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail or should I then delete
Windows Mail after I am happy that everything transferred correctly to WLM?
Will all my folders and its contents transfer exactly the same to WLM as well?

 

[Petra]

I only have one email account in Windows Mail so I suppose it makes no
difference for me but in case I had multiple email accounts then it would
make a difference to me, correct?

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

Everything you have in Windows Mail should automatically be imported
into WLM. You can use both email programs, or you can let WM lie dormant.
You can't uninstall WM.
