I need help. I just got Windows Mail and I used to have outlook at my old
work. In the "To" part of the email, after you type in email address maybe 3
or 4 times they are suppose to be "completed" so you do not have to type in
the rest of it. I tried to type in all of my email address 3 or 4 times from
my address book. But in all of my new emails now, they do not complete the
email address. Tell me how to do it if you understand my question because its
a weird one. But please help!

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.

What??? What is a list of 29 addresses ? I am confused. I didn't mean just
the contacts , I mean even people that I write to a lot don't even auto
complete to it? How can I get that to work?

where it works perfectly:

It only has in the box to "dont add to my forwars" and thats not checked.

WinMail keeps a list in the registry of the last 29 addresses you entered
into the To field. Only these will auto-complete. The list will change as
you enter new addresses, but never remember more than the last 29.

Windows Mail is a desktop program.
Windows Live Mail is a desktop program.
Windows Live Hotmail is the webmail service you normally access with a web
browser. But you can access your Hotmail account using either WM (via POP3)
or WLM (POP3 or http DeltaSync).
