sending e-mail

[James Corso]

When I start to type in the name or e-mail address to whom I am sending the
mail to ,windows mail doesn't automatically complete it for me.Outlook
express always did . Can you please tell me how to make this happen. Thanks

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 WLM program:
