Windows Mail Address book vs. Contacts?

J

Usually when one starts a new message and types in something like Steve
- the rest of the name fills in. The contact is listed under "Contacts"
from the main window but when a new message pane is brought up, he isn't
listed under the contacts there - by hitting "to."
I don't use windows mail so bear with me.

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 perfectly in the replacement
program, Windows Live Mail, which uses the standard contacts list
for auto-completion.
You are encouraged to upgrade to the newer WLM program:
