"to" field not autocompleting

P

phil

just got new laptop with vista home premium. imported my contact list using
csv file from old computer (xp). when composing new mail, i type a character
in the "to" box, and expect to see a complete contact name pop up in the box,
but it does not. when i hit send, it will come up with possible contacts for
me to choose. this is different than any mail server i have ever used. am i
missing an option somewhere?

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:
