I like the autofill funcion in outlook, however, it appears that the autofill
storage space is limited to about 200 email addresses or less. I just did a big mail merge email to some new customers and then after doing this those email addresses replaced those email addresses that normally show up in the autofill, which is creating a huge headache for me now as I have to go and look up old emails to find email addresses of people I want to contact more regularlly. Is there anyway to increase the memory size or is there something else I can do, or is this just a outlook flaw? |

You missed it by a fivefold margin.
The autocompletion cache stores 1000 names before it starts culling (FIFO). -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "twjeff" wrote in message ...

Can I expand that list? 1000 is still not enough. I think I sent out 1000
emails by mail merge last week. Which obviously created a problem for the normal emails I send. Is there anyway to bring those back or increase the size?

No to both. Won't change in Outlook 2003 or 2007.
Obvious solution is to turn off autocomplete before you do large mail merges if you don't want to cache those addresses. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "twjeff" wrote in message ...

HI Russ,
If, by chance you are working for Microsoft, please make this suggestion. The autocomplete cache is not big enough especially for businesses, I would like to see the user be able to set that manually, up to say 10,000+ addresses. Thanks!
