Memorize email addresses

[Dana Nappi]

With Windows I was able to just start typing the name of a contact and the
email address would appear, with Vista everyday I have to go to the contacts
list and select my contacts, then for the rest of the day I only have to type
a few letters and they come up, but the next day it starts all over !

I just signed up for this group because I am having the same problem. It's
VERY frustrating! I'm looking forward to hearing the solution.

Do you have the "Automatically complete email addresses when composing" box
ticked? (Tools-Options-Send)

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 much better in the replacement
program, Windows Live Mail, which uses the standard contacts list.
You are encouraged to upgrade to the newer email program:
