After importing Outlook Express data to Outlook, the
AutoFill (name from Contacts or Address Book) function is
not working. I am also still using Outlook Express; where
that function is still working properly. I have checked
the box in Outlook, Tools > Options > Preferences> Email
Options > Advanced Email Options that says: "Suggest
names while completing To, Cc and Bcc fields." This was
never NOT checked as far as I know, and checking it does
not fix the problem.
I believe this is the same rule as the one in Outlook
Express, Tools > Send that says: Automatically complete
email addresses when composing.
Any answer to this problem? I would appreciate a reply
to my email addresss at: martin@gobrainstorm.net
Thanks, John

You have misunderstood how autocomplete works. It works from a cache of
names that is populated as you send messages, not from your Contacts List.
Send messages. Then it will work.
