Auto 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!

The auto-complete function doesn't use your contacts folder. 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:

If you'd rather use the contacts list, instead of the separate list used for
the
auto-completion function, don't type any part of the address. Instead,
click To: in the new message window.
