Address suggestions typing new mail in "Outlook 2003"

ralfs_k · 09-12-2008, 07:44 AM

Hello.

So here is the problem I used outlook express and when making new mail outlook express suggests all addresses to whom i sent before just by typing first few symbols of address, but outlook 2003 only suggests addresses I typed since turning on outlook 2003... Is there a way to fix this?

EDIT: I see a bunch of manuals how to disable this feature like: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...347921033.aspx but god damn even if it's enabled it only suggests addresses I have just typed since opening outlook and non of addresses i have previously (yesterday etc) typed like outlook express...

maybe outlook.nk2 is corrupt. You can try to rename it in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft.
It's gonna clear the list though...

I'm pretty sure that's the way it is.
Outlook Express was remembering all its addresses.
And Outlook 2003 is a new installation, and will only remember the addresses typed into it.
I don't think there is any way to export the O/Express memory to O/2003.
