The autocompletion list is separate from the contacts list, and you probably
didn't manage to transfer it as well.

If you'd rather use the contacts list, start a new message as usual, except
don't type any part of the address. Instead, click on To:, then the contact
you want to use, then which header line you want to put it on (To:, Cc:, or
Bcc. Note that some email providers require that you put at least one
address on the To: line.

I assume that you did manage to import the old contacts list.

Using Windows Mail?
The auto-complete in Windows Mail just doesn't work correctly.
It keeps a separate list of the last 29 addresses you've typed in, including
bad ones.
This list is kept in the registry (in binary).
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Recently Used Addresses

This is one of the features that works properly in the newer Windows Live
Mail.

You're welcome.

Save what?

If you have the autocompletion list enabled, every time you send a
message using the contacts list, the address you send it to will be
copied to the autocompletion list. This list will hold only the last
29 addresses you sent messages to though - but if your list is
shorter than that, you can eventually start using the autocompletion
list again.

Novices shouldn't attempt to do much with the binary information
in the registry. Here's a program that can safely delete some of the
last 29 addresses from the list, but that's about all I'd suggest you
do with editting this list.
