Hi Darren I know what you're talking about and as far as I can remember it's in Vista. I'm sure also that it's checked. The person who replied to me earlier today, Jim I think it was, informed me that addresses are only completed once you have replied to a person in your address book. Thanks for your reply.

This is the case for XP, I can't speak for Vista though. The relevant option is found within the "Sent" tab of OE options. Again, I can't speak for Windows Mail. All in all, it looks like my response to this problem could be totally irrelevant!

I am assuming then that once you reply to a person thehn from that point their Email address will be completed. Now let's hope you don't get met with the same ill-mannered response I got. I'll close this thread now just in case anyone finds it inappropriate.

Now your mail problem. If you reply to someone on a regular basis, the email address will auto complete in the too field and the cc or bcc fields if you choose to send copies. However, if the person is in your address book and you haven't emailed that person for some time, the too and other fields will not auto insert the persons email address, but if you know part of the persons email address that will normally do and if its not, you will be given the option to select it from the address book when you do a send email. As far as I know, there's no way round this annoying problem. HTH Jim. ----- Original Message ----- From: Barbara Wilson To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 7:19 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Windows Mail Question I am sure I am not the first person to ask a question on behalf of a sighted person. If the moderator has an issue with my question then I will wait for him to get in touch and apologise if he deems my question out of order. Do you direct your comments to everyone who asked a non-access question? If so, then you must send a lot of Emails as it happens a lot of this list and no one else seems to mind the odd non-access related question.

And I am asking on behalf of a sighted person who does not use a screen reader. They have their options set to complete Email addresses when they start to type and contacts placed in Windows Contacts. Yet, when they select New Mail Message and start to type a name from their contacts, the Email address is not inserted. Can anyone tell me why this iand how to make it do what it should? Thanks.
