Vista - Windows Mail Contact List

11-28-2007

When I am sending a new message and I start typing into the To: line, my
contact list is supposed to automatically come up. If I type in a "P", all
my "P's are supposed to come up, and scroll through till I get what I want.
None of my contacts come up except those to whom I have sent an e-mail in the
last day or so. Is there some setting that I need to change to ensure that
all my contact come up ?

Sorry, but that is the way auto-complete in Windows Mail works.
If you want a better auto-complete function, upgrade to WLM:

Only the addresses among the last 29 you sent messages to will come up,
not the rest of the contacts.

To get what you want, click on Tools and then Select Recipients...
in the new message box instead of typing anything on the To: line.
