Vista - retaining contact shortcut when sending e-mails

01-05-2008

Whenever I send a message, I often simply type the first letter of the
contact and the program provides a list of all contacts with that first
letter, allowing me to highlight the recipient of the message.

However, in Windows Mail, I try to do the same thing and as long as I
maintain contact several times a week, the list desappears or reduces and I
then have to open the Contacts Folder and open the entire folder and search
all the names until reaching the wanted contact.

Why does my list fail to retain ALL the contacts listing? Anyone have any
suggestions and/or answer?

Thanks,

Dan

This is my problem also. This does not occur in Windows XP.
