It doesn't work off your address book, if you want the address book you click the "to" label. And no, you cannot have contacts be in the "recent" list without use, and it won't ever suggest based on a contact.

There is a place in Outlook Options, Mail, to have it use the auto complete, or not.

question about importing with gmail
Madison Martin
Hi all,
In settings for gmail I see there's a way to import mail and contacts, my question is, is there a way for me to pick what gets imported? If so, how do I do this? I only want to import my contacts as I already moved all of my old messages over. I'm using the latest versions of Jaws, Edge, Windows 10 and Office 365. Thanks for any help anyone can provide me!!!! Madison

so, if he types the address, will that create a second entry in the contacts? because that entry for the person already exists.

Bill, that's not when he gets the ding. he gets it when he attempts to start a new email to someone who is already in the contacts, and instead of typing the recipient's address, he simply wants to type the first and last name initials of that person.
