Address autocomplete in Outlook 2003 - How?

by avmad Dec 10, 2005 11:12PM PST

Hello again,

I have Outlook 2003 on XP Pro sp2 on my Dell Latitude laptop (all fully patched). Accessing mail via corporate IMAP4 server.

I have a personal "Contacts" list as well as a corporate email directory. Both appear in my address book setup. I have configured My Contacts to be searched first.

I have a contact called Fred Bloggs (listed as Bloggs, Fred) with an email address of Fred.Bloggs@imaginary.com.

When I send an email to Fred, I *think* I should be able to simply type "Fre" or "Blo" in the To fieled and the address should get automatically completed. Is that correct? Note: This works correctly on Outlook Express.

Please let me know.

avmad
