E-mail addresses from Contacts do not appear as I start typing an.

I recently updated to Office 2003 at work and transfered my contacts over
from Outlook Express. Now, when I go to send an e-mail and I start typing in
an e-mail address that is in my contacts folder, it doesn't automatically
complete the address for me. The only ones it shows are ones that I have
sent after the update, also it doesn't let me type in "Joe Jones" to get to
an e-mail address, I have to start typing in the actual e-mail address
itself, which is a pain cuz I don't always remember everyone's e-mail
address. Any ideas?????

That's correct. That's how Autocompletion works. The autocompletion cache
is unrelated to your Contacts and gets populated as you enter addresses.
also it doesn't let
me type in "Joe Jones" to get to an e-mail address, I have to start
typing in the actual e-mail address itself, which is a pain cuz I
don't always remember everyone's e-mail address.

If you type in "Joe" and press CTRL-K and you have the Autoresolution option
enabled, either the contact will be filled in (if it's the only contact
containing "Joe") or you will be given a list if contacts containing the
string "joe" and you can choose which you want.
