Gurus,

Using Outlook 2003. I thought Outlook 2003 "remembered Previous email
addresses you typed? A lot of times, people I've emailed before, I'll type
their first name and Outlook doesn't remember the address. Instead I have
to manually bring up the address book. Or I have to type the last name and
Outlook does remember that. Any thoughts?
 
Enable the following:
Tools - Options - Email Options - Advanced Email Options - Suggest names
while completing To, Cc, and Bcc fields
 
I tested this. When I unchecked that box, the automatic name locator stopped
working (e.g. both John and Smith gave me nothing) but when I checked it
again then I can type in SMI and John Smith pops up but typing John gives
nothing). Our company Address Book is sorted by Last Name, First Name.

that's also expected behavior.
