Vista - addressee completion Vista mail

Sometimes when I'm addressing an email I'll enter the first letter and the
computer completes the address from the address book...and then sometimes it
doesn't. I've checked all the settings and they seem to be in order.
Thanks.

That is known as the auto-complete function.
Windows Mail does not auto-complete from your contacts.
It uses a separate list of the last 29 recipients you've sent mail to.

The auto-complete feature works perfectly in the replacement
program, Windows Live Mail, which uses the standard contacts list
for auto-completion.
You are encouraged to upgrade to the newer WLM program:

Windows Mail auto-completes from a separate list of 29 addresses you type
in, not from your contacts. This list is stored in the registry.

To retrieve addresses from your contacts folder, click on the "To: " button.

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