Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / May 2008Auto complete email address does not work in Windows Mail
I just got a new computer yesterday and the auto-complete doesn't work. Automatically complete email addresses when composing is checked under SEND options. I imported all my email contacts to the address book. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Instead, it uses a separate list of the last 29 addresses you sent messages to, and often doesn't do it well. If you'd rather use the contacts list, start the new message as usual, except don't type any part of the address. Instead, click on To:. In addition to Robert's response, you should know that upgrading to Windows Live Mail will get you perfectly functioning auto-complete: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview SignatureGary VanderMolen, MS-MVP >I just got a new computer yesterday and the auto-complete doesn't work. > Automatically complete email addresses when composing is checked under SEND > options.
