Vista - E-mail "memory"

E-mail "memory"

My Windows Mail "To" box does not save e-mail addresses for more than one
day. As a result, I am forced to go back into my Contact list to e-mail
someone I have not e-mailed within the last 24 hours. Normally, typing the
person's name or e-mail address should call up a drop-down list of names
corresponding to those letters.

Baffled,
Wayne

Re: E-mail "memory"

The auto-complete in Windows Mail just doesn't work correctly.
It keeps a separate list of the last 29 addresses you've typed in, including
bad ones. This list is kept in the registry (in binary).

This is one of the features that works properly in the newer Windows Live
Mail.
