When I click on 'to' in Windows Mail the list of names offered does not match
the carefully compliled list in my Contacts folder. The 'to' list includes
names I want to remove but cannot see the way to do it and if possible make
the two lists the same.

Some help from out here please?

Thank you

That special list of contacts is known as the auto-complete feature.
Windows Mail does not auto-complete from your regular contacts.
It uses a separate list of the last 29 recipients you've sent mail to.

You can delete the entire auto-complete list as follows:

Or try this other utility to selectively remove some unwanted addresses:

The newer replacement mail program, Windows Live Mail, uses the
standard contacts list for auto-completion.
You are encouraged to upgrade to the newer WLM program:

Thank you Gary. I'm trying WLM instead for my Yahoo address. Previously I
have found I preferred the older WM.

Regards.
