My contact lists won't show up when I'm composing an email, even if I type the entire name into the "To" box.

I've added my husband to the contact list, but when I got to create an email and type in his name, it doesn't appear as an option and does not auto-populate. Doesn't work when I type in the email address either. This is completely frustrating.

Email sync with contact list.
Start typing in the TO: box and many of the people that are in my contacts list do not appear as an option. I have to go to the contacts window and look up their address to add them to the outgoing email. Yet, when typing the TO box, names of people I don't even know who the **** they are appear? How about linking my email app to MY CONTACTS and shove your skype app right up your ***. -

The "to" search is a lot more restricted than previously. It ought to work exactly like the search in People, i.e., it ought to search through company, notes, nicknames, and all other contact fields. Currently, it only looks through name and email address.

Can't find contacts I write to regularly when I search for them.Also Accidentally clicked X on a couple and deleted them out of dropdown search list --I added them to my Contacts in People but they still don't show up in dropdowns now...

Is there any way to add an email address to your list of addresses? There used to be a People button but i can't find it now, with a list of addresses. I have a friend I write to often, and vice versa but her email NEVER comes up when i put in either her first name OR the first 10 complete digits of her email in the To or Bcc field. Also, would be nice to have an Enter button or Submit button for this field/block instead of having to use the Enter key.

How does one re-populate the autocomplete list so contact will show in Suggested list? See this thread: Issue Contact does not show in Suggested list. Search reveals "No Results Found".
So how do we re-populate the autocomplete field? https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/newmsn/forum/newmsn_set-newmsn_locset-newmsn_device_win10/windows-location-setup/b4a6c8bd-cd5e-4e6d-b963-c24d2b88407e?messageId=8b7e41ef-68e5-4137-b4f2-ac44d600f03b -

Auto search of contacts when sending emails does not work as well as before and the pop-up suggestion box is annoying.
Help also does NOT HELP....
Please return to old hotmail. -

The auto fill doesn't identify my contacts in the "To" field of my email. I have to select "To" then scroll through "My Contacts" to select the individual I want to email. Please correct.

I've now set up my gmail and it's very impressive, though have been using it for yonks anyway for work, I now will use it for both. sorry Outlook..I've had enough. It's now only useable for random newspaper forums and stuff I dont even need to read mail from.

/// PROBLEM WITH CONTACTS LIST. ive a regular person i email DAILY. yet you dont auto suggest the addy any more, even IF THE PERSON IS A CONTACT which is. its listed in contacts (the addy). I am getting fed up keep typing the whole email address in when i type to this person 50x a day. I may therefore be gone to GMAIL by a week max. Im fed up with new Outlook slowness anyway and this is just prob the straw that breaks the camels back.

If i'd emailed someone before their email would pop up when I started typing it. This no longer happens. You've ruined this!

FAR too often, a person's email address will not appear after I type the first few letters of the address. These are people I regularly email. Drives me crazy. I cannot remember all of my contacts' addresses, so I can't send them an email when this happens. It's very frustrating and needs to be fixed. I'm sure gmail doesn't have these issues.
