When I go to create a new email in outlook 2002, and I
start to type the name of the user, it will automatically
fill in the name or have me chose from a list. This is a
cool function that I love to use. Here is my problem. In
our exchange custom recipient list, we have a lady named
kristin estrada. Well, I am used to just typing
in 'kristin' in the to field whenever i want to send
something to my wife, Kristin, but recently, it has been
defaulting to this kristin estrada lady, and I have alreay
accidently sent her mail when I meant to send it to my
kristin... AM I MAKING ANY SENSE HERE?!
 
You need to assign your wife a friendly name such as Wifey and then type
that into the To: field. It should resolve to Kristin (your last name).
