Autofill E-mail Addresses?
Hi All,
In Outlook Express, I used to add a registry D-String value to the WAB4 folder called "UseOutlook" with a "1" value. This allowed OE to pull my contacts from Outlook and keep the OE and Outlook address books identical. Also and most importantly, when I typed an address, the program filled in the e-mail address after the 1st 2-3 letters automatically. I've upgraded my notebook pc to Vista and am not happy with Windows Mail (the Vista version of OE) because it only fills in the last 29 e-mail addresses sent out. I tried Outlook instead and it doesn't appear to be filling in the e-mail address either. I have the box checked in setup that supposedly does this. Thanks very much for any help/suggestions! -- Bruce...

Autofill E-mail Addresses?
If you just now started using it, you haven't populated your autocompletion
cache, have you? You won't see it working until you do. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Bruce..." wrote in message ...

Autofill E-mail Addresses?
No Russ, I havn't. Is the autocomplete cache unlimited addresses or is it
finite to 29 e-mail addresses like Vista's Windows Mail? That would be the deciding factor right there. I can live with populating the cache if it's a 1 time permanent thing. If it's limiting and/or clears itself occassionally, it won't work for me. I wrote too many business e-mails per day. Thanks for taking the time to help!

Autofill E-mail Addresses?
The autocompletion cache retains your last 1000 recipients. After that, it's
FIFO. It has nothing to do with your Contact data. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Bruce..." wrote in message news  No Russ, I havn't.

Autofill E-mail Addresses?
That's great info Russ, exactly what I needed to know. I'll give it a try.
Can always move to Thunderbird later from Outlook if I'm not happy. Cheers! --------------------- "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: The autocompletion cache retains your last 1000 recipients. After that, it's FIFO. It has nothing to do with your Contact data. --
