| | auto complete in "send to" field? Just moved over to Vista and Windows Mail after years as a happy xp/oe user. First annoyance - no auto completion of addresses, even though I have the feature toggled on in the settings. Is this a bug? Any fix? I send up to several hundred emails and ng posts on any given day and need the auto completion desperately! -- Michael E |

| | Re: auto complete in "send to" field? Hi Gary - Thanks for the reply. Hadn't heard of 'live mail' before now... but it looks good, based on the link you posted. Is it safe to assume this would be a complete replacement for the Windows Mail app that ships as part of Vista? If so, will it import all my accounts, messages, folders, rules, etc from winMail?

| | Re: auto complete in "send to" field? Yes, WLM should import everything, at least it did for me. It doesn't wipe out Windows Mail but does remove the shortcut for it. I recreated the WM shortcut because I need to run WM occasionally for testing purposes.

| | Re: auto complete in "send to" field? hello again - just tried it, and the import came through all screwy, folders misnamed, etc. Too tired and impatient to sort it out after so much time already configuring windows mail. I have a new MS Office suite on the way this week, might just hang tough and see what I think about Outlook. Thanks for the info, though... I have a feeling if I were starting fresh I might really like Live Mail, but with the accounts and gazillion-odd folders I have to import, it needs to be a smooth connection to earlier apps.

| | Re: auto complete in "send to" field? hi Gary - it might have something to do with the way the import from OE to winMail worked out for me orignally. Some of my folders threw errors, which stopped the import process dead in its tracks, so I had to do them in batches. Everything in winMail looks fine, but in LiveMail, they were named all funky and grouped the way they were imported originally... too much trouble, and I was too tired and in a hurry. Other than the lack of autocomplete, everything else in winmail is just the way I like it. -- -- "Gary VanderMolen" <gary@NoMail.invalid> wrote in message news:ugMqQIfsHHA.1728@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Sorry to hear about the unsatisfactory folder import. > Yours is the first negative report I have seen about this. > > Gary VanderMolen > > > "Michael Evangelista" <ngmail@mredesign.com> wrote in message > news:eVvrvAXsHHA.1060@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >> hello again - >> just tried it, and the import came through all screwy, folders misnamed, >> etc. >> >> Too tired and impatient to sort it out after so much time already >> configuring windows mail. >> I have a new MS Office suite on the way this week, might just hang tough >> and see what I think about Outlook. >> Thanks for the info, though...
