the old email was set up to automatically fill in the name that matched up
with what you were typing in and i cannot figure out how to activate it.

You sure didn't provide any information here.
"The old email?"
What was the "old email?" What is the "new email?"
What is your Outlook version?
Perhaps you were not aware that autocompletion requires you to send messages
to populate your autocompletion cache before you'll see it working.

Automatic name checking is NOT the option that addresses the OP's question.

oh. I thought he wanted to turn on automatic name checking. I guess I
misunderstood Sonic's question.

He wanted autocompletion, not autoresolution (name checking).
