Thanks Keith. Maybe you can answer another question. When I type an email
address it does not "auto-complete" by checking against my contacts the way
good-old OE6 did. I imported my address book as a csv file but no joy. If I
send someone an email and then, later in the day send to the same person, it
will remember the address and auto-complete. But this doesn't last from day
to day. It's a real pain having to type in complete email addresses or go
through the contact list or gadget. Do I need to have an "address book" as
well as a contact list? If you can solve this problem I will sing your
praises! Thanks.
