Default How to configure "Display as" to show as auto suggestions in n

The autocompletion cache is populated only by the messages you have sent.
The format of what appears in that cache is determined entirely by the
sender if you have replied to that message.

Hi Russ,
Thanks for the reply. So to get an autocomplete with email and Display
names, I have to specifically send them an email first? And then the next
time I write to them, it should show?

Not at all. You have failed to understand that autocompletion has nothing
to
do with your Contacts Folder and the information it contains. It only
uses
information from the autocompletion cache, which contains information
derived only from headers of the messages you have sent.

Hi all,

When I enter a new contact, I use the Full Name and email fields. The
File
As and Display As fill in automatically.

When I want to send a new email and start typing in the "to" field,
sometimes it just suggests email addresses, and sometimes it suggests
email
addresses and also the Display name (+address) people.

I would like it to suggest Display name options all of the time but it
just
seems random. Have I not configure something correctly?

Thanks
