Autofill - it's useless

How is it that Outlook could remember all your addresses and not just the
last 29?? Who designed this backwards program? Autofill in outlook is much
faster than going to the address book to find your contact even if you go
directly from the TO in the new message. When are they going to issue an
upgrade or fix for this very annoying problem?

They probably aren't going to. Most of their email effort is going to their
new email program, Windows Live Mail, and their extra-cost email program,
Outlook.

Outlook is much different than a freebie email program, like Windows Mail.
The auto-complete issue has been "fixed" by Windows Live Mail, Windows
Mail's apparent successor.

Re: Autofill - it's useless

How much did you pay for Windows Mail compared to Outlook???
There's your reason. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

If you want more features, pony up for Outlook.
In the meantime, Windows Live Mail might fit the bill:
