I have a couple thousand contacts in my contacts folder with email
address.
When I am sending a email message outlook does not find any of these
addresses when I start typing into the TO: line. Why? How do I fix
this?

Right-Click on the Contacts in your secret version of Outlook, choose
Properties and click on the Outlook Address book tab. Is the box checked
"Show this folder as an email address book"?
