MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / January 2005E-mail Address "Auto Complete" in Outlook 2003
In at work we have Outlook 2003 on our machines connecting to an Exchange server. When using Outlook there, if it recognizes a partial address, it pops up with a list of recently used addresses matching the characters entered so far. Last night I installed Outlook 2003 at home where it talks to a couple of pop server. Unlike Outlook at work, my instance at home does not "auto complete" addresses. I am at a loss to find a setting to do this. Is this feature only available when Outlook is working with an Exchange server? Or am I missing something? Thanks! Don Open Outlook and select Tools | Options | Prefs tab | Email Options button | Advanced Email Options button and see if you a checkbox at the bottom labeled "Suggest names while completing To, CC, and BCC fields". (Thats auto-complete and it takes a bit to get populated) /neo > In at work we have Outlook 2003 on our machines connecting to an Exchange > server.

Keep in mind that the autosuggest feature does not reference your Contacts at all.  SignatureBrian Tillman Brian, Understand. There are some e-mails not in my contacts that the auto complete makes just that much easier to deal with. Thanks! Don > > Found it!

I've been trying to find the registry key that contains the recently used e-mail address list so I can clear it, but I haven't had any luck. I found the KB article a couple of years ago but I can't find it now. Any help would be appreciated. > In at work we have Outlook 2003 on our machines connecting to an Exchange > server.

You can find it at www.dcs-imaging.com/products.htm. It's called Owtlook.
