Upon installing windows mail, I added a contact manually (I was given the
address in error) instead of the letter "g" my dear Sister read the "g" as
"9".. I deleted the incorrect address, but now when I attempt to use the
automatic function by typing the first letter the incorrect address pops
into the addressee box. I look again and the address in the box is correct.
What am I doing right/wrong. Any fix ?
 
Unfortunately it is not easy to get rid of the auto-complete for
addresses you recently sent to. They are saved in the registry,
in this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Recently Used Addresses

Unless you are familiar with editing the registry, I would
advise you to ignore the problem for now. Eventually
the bad address will drop off the remembered list.

Thank you, Very Much.

This to me is completely unacceptable and my wife absolutely hates it. I've
switched to Thunderbird because of this, but my wife wants Windows Mail to
work because it's the closest to Outlook Express which is what she used under
XP.

They really need to fix this so it reads from the Contacts list and NOT the
registry. Otherwise, you have to send an email to everyone for this to work!
And, it only stores so many! Not acceptable by any means and I hope someone
from Microsoft reads these forums because this is just not right.
 
When Windows Mail auto-complete pops up use arrows to select an entry you
want to delete and click Delete button.
