Hi,

I come from Outlook Express, and I'm just learning the differences of
Windows Mail.

Here's one I haven't figured out yet:

I've got two contacts, one named Ted, and another named Ted. I've put
"Ted" in my contact list, because I write to him frequently. I
haven't put "Tom" in my contact list, but I did send him a note
yesterday. Today I went to write a note to Ted, and as I started
entering the "T" in the To: field, both Ted and Tom appeared in the
drop down selection list. Even thought I never put Tom in my contact
list, I suppose it appeared in the drop down list because I once wrote
to him and entered his name in the To: field.

How do I keep from accumulating all of these email addresses? This
reminds me of Outlook.

Thanks.
 
Tools, Options, Send, uncheck the third option.
It will take time to purge the recently-sent-to list. If you are
brave, you can delete the registry key (save it first):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Recently Used Addresses
