Click To does not Display Contacts
Previously, all I had to do was click on a contact person, and then their email address, and I could start typing my email message. I cannot do this now. Plus, it does not send when I hit send, instead putting the message in draft.
I also must hand type each and every email address again that I already save in my contact list for each person. What have you changed?

I DEFINITLEY DO NOT like the recent change for selecting recipients for a new message. The listed name choices do not seem to be in any particular order, and there is no scroll bar. The previous method for selection was working just fine! Stop imposing these unrequested "improvements" on us users!

Put the "To" "Recipients" box back to the way it was before you "improved" it and made it unuseable! The suggested contacts worked fine before you screwed it up!

What did you do to ***** up the address list for my cotacts when I want to select people to send the email to?
Why don't you ask before you improve something to a point where it is useless? -

To recipients list does not include recipient that I type. The offered list appears to be the 5 most used recipients, which bears no relation to the recipient that I entered.

I have contact lists in a folder in my Contacts. When I compose a new message and try to find contact lists by typing in the TO line, search fails to find any of the contact lists. If I click on the TO "button", I can find all the contact lists by scrolling the full list of my contacts, but this is time consuming and inefficient.
It looks like "search-as-you-type" functionality was not updated to look for all the contacts and contact lists (especially those in folders). -

Make it impossible to enter emails when trying to select them.

Auto-suggest for recipient is not working, as soon as I start typing, the little circle starts going round and round, "searching". But it never comes up with anything, even when I have typed the complete address for the recipient myself. It is still "searching" at that point; and hitting "enter" does nothing - so I am unable to send to more than one recipient. I just have to hit "send" having typed one complete email address myself, and it is then sent to that email address.

When I add a new contact to my email, it doesn't appear when I go to type a "new" message. I have to go to outlook, contacts, and click on send a message when I find that person. This 3 step process is taking too much time and very unhappy with the new outlook mail program!

Writing a new message, in the "FROM" field we can't see the selected e-mail address, even choosing an address out of the available ones. Please, try to fix it, Thanks

I'm using beta version of outlook. When I click on the TO, it no longer gives me my contact list from which to choose names.

Cannot view all contacts when creating new message. The list is truncated and vanishes when trying to view further contacts beyond.

You've made a royal mess out of hotmail. YOu deleted contacts, I cannot change contact information - it doesn't save and the old info comes up, I cannot click on To and have my contacts come up - it's a mess - you've deleted contacts - or they are there and even if I type in the address, the contact still does not come up.

I'm horrified. I want to send a new message, but clicking on 'contacts' doesn't bring them up. They are in "people"

When forwarding an email, there aren't any contacts when I click on "To or Bcc". How do you connect 'My contacts'
