Do incoming messages automatically get added to my address book if they are
not already in there... and if so, how do I turn off or on this feature?
 
Yes, thank you, but that's for outgoing... i was wondering if the names get
added automatically for ones that come in and I don't respond to... Thanks

No they are not added, without you reply, and unless the option to do so is
selected.

I have a similar problem. I use the first 2 letters of my middle name to
aqddress messages to myself, but I have 'auto complete names on' and Windows
fills in another name NOT in my Contact list, but which I have sent email to.
I don't know where Windows is pulling this data from (I think I've looked at
all the reasonable suspects), but can I prevent it, other than turning 'auto
complete names' off?
 
I had looked at that, but it looks like you have to run it continuously, or
at least repeatedly.

What I'd prefer is Windows not storing them there in the first place.

My next PC may have to be a Mac.

Windows Mail does not auto-complete from your contacts.
It uses a separate list of the last 29 recipients you've sent mail to.

The auto-complete feature works correctly in the replacement
program, Windows Live Mail, which uses the standard contacts list
for auto-completion.
You are encouraged to upgrade to the newer WLM program:
