Outlook 2002 Sender List and email not working right

Two problems: 1) the auto complete feature is not working
automatically filling in the name on the "To" or "cc" box
even though I have the option checked to do so. 2)
The "select names" list box that appears when I click
the "TO" header of a new email has duplicate entries for
each contact. One if I have the email address in the
contact info and once again if the contact has a business
fax entered. Anyone have suggestions?
 
Sounds to me like normal behavior on both counts.

You won't see any autocompletion until you've sent enough emails to populate
your autocompletion cache.

The standard behavior for the Outlook Address book is to display all
electronic addresses (both fax and e-mail). That behavior cannot be changed.
The only way to prevent the display of fax numbers is to store them in a
different field or to disguise them (e.g., precede them with an alpha
character) so that Outlook won't recognize them as phone numbers.
There are also a number of utilities available that can do this for you
automatically. Some are listed here:
