I know when I type in the beginning letter of an email address the email, if
it is in the contacts, will automatically appear. Is there a way for me to
type in the first or last name of a contact and have it also pick up the
email from the contacts list. Sometimes I can remember a name but I cannot
remember an email.
 
Outlook has a feature called auto-resolution. If you enter part of a name or
a nickname then tab out of the field (or hit Alt-K [Check Names]), Outlook
will attempt to resolve the name against your address book. If it can't
it'll red underline it and you can right click on the name to manually
resolve it. Outlook will save the resolution for future use.

Nope. It has nothing to do with your contacts. It has to do with your
having sent a message to that address in the past, without regard to whether
or not that address is in your contacts.

Enter the first three letters and press CTRL-K.
