Background:

AutoComplete is a feature which displays suggestions for names and email addresses as you begin to type them. These suggestions are possible matches from a list of names and email addresses that you have typed before, known as the AutoComplete name list. The AutoCompletes name list saved as a file on the local machine. 

Possible solutions:

1. Are you using your primary machine?  AutoComplete Lists are saved per machine (locally).  If you are not on your primary machine you will have a different list.
2. Was your machine rebuilt recently?  If so your AutoComplete file may not have been copied over to the new build. In this case you will need to start building a new list.
3. Is AutoComplete turned off? To turn AutoComplete on:
   • go to the File menu
   • click Options
   • select the Mail tab
   • scroll down to 'Send messages' section
   • check the "Use Auto-Complete to suggest names when typing in the To, Cc, and Bcc lines" check box
4. Very rarely a AutoComplete list file gets corrupted and all suggestions disappear. If your new entries are being saved then continue to build your new list with use. If the list remains blank contact the W&L InfoDesk.

• To, Cc, and Bcc boxes in an e-mail message.
• To boxes in meeting requests, tasks, and share requests
• E-mail field in a contact card.
  
  When you type the first letter of a name in one of these boxes, AutoComplete begins to suggest possible matches based on names you have typed before. The more letters you type, the greater the possibility of AutoComplete finding a match.

Click the name you want to enter in the box. If you are using the keyboard, select the name using the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW keys, and then press ENTER (or TAB). If no suggestion matches what you are typing, continue typing. The AutoComplete feature will remember what you typed the next time you type that name.

Names that you use less frequently will move lower in the list over time, and eventually will no longer appear.

1. Begin typing the name you wish to remove from the AutoComplete list.

2. Select the unwanted name by using the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW key.

3. Press DELETE.

Note: When you type the first letter of a name in the To, CC, and BCC boxes, AutoComplete begins to suggest possible matches based on names of whom you have sent an item to before.

Sometimes you will get a bounce back from an e-mail address that you have used before. Please forward as an attachment the bounce back to mtrimmer@wlu.edu.  If it is determined that there is an invalid address that has gotten into your auto-complete address list you will need to remove the invalid address and manually enter correct address.

To remove the bad address you will need to remove the Name@address.com entry in you auto-complete list (the list of address that come up when you start typing in the To field). To remove the entry start typing “N” in the To field of a new message, use the arrow keys to move up and down the list until Name@address.com is highlighted, and press the Delete key.

After this you can manually type the address once and it will then again be in you auto-complete list, this time with the correct address.

We do not provide copies of the address list for two primary reasons. 1 - it becomes a nightmare to troubleshoot issues as more and more out-of-date address lists are in use, 2 - if a machine holding these addresses gets infected with a virus that uses or collects addresses then our whole address list would be compromised.

There's not a direct way from the file menu, but you can do the following to save that group as a distribution list:

1. In the e-mail message you want to copy the names from, highlight the names in the To or Cc box.

2. Right-click and select Copy.

3. On the File menu, click on the down arrow next to NEW, and then select Distribution List.

4.  In the "Name" box, type a name for the distribution list.

5. Click "Select Members".

6. In the Members field, right-click, choose "Paste" and then OK. 

7. Click the "Save and Close" button to create the distribution list.

The first time you send to the distribution list, you will have to click CTRL + K, or the "Check Names" button to make the name of the list auto-complete.

We are just starting on these instructions.  Please let us know of additions/corrections.

In Outlook 2011 you need to go to mail preferences and add an exchange account.
