Autocomplete collects the addresses when you send new messages or reply. Right click to see the other addresses.Īutocomplete is the feature that shows addresses of people you’ve sent messages to previously and you can select matches as you begin typing.
When more than one match exists for a name you’ve used before, Outlook resolves to the last name used and uses a green dotted line to alert you that other possibilities exist. When more than one possible match exist you’ll see a red wavy underline. When one match is found, the name has a solid underline. This feature allows you to type a name, or even just the first few letters, and the name resolves a few seconds after you tab out of the field. There are other issues with the updates relating to how autocomplete works.Īll versions of Outlook support automatic name checking, also known as Autoresolve. The DisableAutoCompleteUpdate registry key may be the trigger for that specific behavior. There is a bug in a recent Office update that causes the autocomplete list to go up, not down.
