Why Does Windows Mail forget email addresses?
It's very annoying but many times when I start to email someone, I find that
Windows Mail has forgotten the address and will not complete it, so I have to go into contacts and email from there. I never knew this to happen with OE in any of the Win versions before Vista, and wonder why it happens with Windows Mail. Is there a fix for this? TIA Cheri

Why Does Windows Mail forget email addresses?
Windows Mail only remembers the last 29 addresses used. See this about
removing remembered addresses.

That special list of contacts is known as the auto-complete feature.
Windows Mail does not auto-complete from your regular contacts. It uses a separate list of the last 29 recipients you've sent mail to. The workaround is to click on 'To:' which brings up all your contacts. The newer replacement mail program, Windows Live Mail, uses the standard contacts list for auto-completion. You are encouraged to upgrade to the newer mail program: http://download.live.com/wlmail -- Gary VanderMolen, Microsoft MVP (Mail) Microsoft MVP program: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...
