    Windows Mail: Autocomplete of email address

    Is this doing this to wind me up or what?

    Outlook used to work ok. You typed the first part of a blokes name, and it found it, and if there were two of those names similar, you knew, and kept typing until you got what you wanted.

    Windows Mail, all praise progress, seems to just want to just list the last people I emailed. It's set in Options to autocomplete, but that only works if you hit TAB.

    I've got a mate who is in my Address book as SAOFG@xxxxxx.yyy and his name is saofg
    He only shows as that, no other details or names. Just that one name and that one email addy.

    First time I email him, I have to hit Tab to see if it's got him out of my address book... it has.
    Second time I email him, BOTH of those options now show in Autocomplete.

    Then I email Sair.. first time I do it I have to TAB to see it's her.... it is.
    Second time... I type SA and I get TWO FOR HER AND TWO FOR SAOFG... 4 of the buggers.....

    Can this be sorted, or is it just progress?
