Frequent Contacts Not Auto Filling

Unlike OE (or other email systems), I cannot get Windows Mail to auto
populate the To: or CC: lines with email addresses that I frequently use
unless I have used them in the past several days.

This is very frustrating as the application claims to do this.

I have checked settings and have it set up to do this, but it does not.

Does anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks much in advance.

WinMail keeps a list of the last used 29 addresses (only) in the registry.
If you want, you can clear all or some of them.

Windows Mail doesn't auto-complete from your contacts. It keeps a separate
list of the past 29 email addresses you've typed in, and tries to
auto-complete from that.

The newer Windows Live Mail works much better with this issue.
