| | AutoComplete not always working I imported my contact list from Outlook on my old computer to Windows Mail on my new computer. Sometimes the auto complete works when I start to type an address into the address bar, and sometimes it doesn't. Anybody have this happen to them and know how to fix it? |

| | Re: AutoComplete not always working Nothing to fix. Windows Mail only remembers the last 29 addresses that came up on your computer, not your entire contact list. For those that don't belong the " the last 29 ", you'll have to click TO to find the name/address. Windows Live Mail does remember the whole list.

| | Re: AutoComplete not always working As I reply several times a day.... 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). Just click on the To: button, and select your recipient. This is one of the features that works properly in the newer Windows Live Mail. -- Windows 7 beta http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview http://download.live.com/wlmail "nrgdog" <nrgdog@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:59946AB7-BFF2-4C73-97F8-2D4607090F4F@xxxxxx Quote: > I imported my contact list from Outlook on my old computer to Windows Mail > on > my new computer.
