Auto Fill Confusion
 

My boss has a general Contacts list in Outlook 2003 where we store all
clients names, addy, phone #s, e-mail addresses. We have a contact subfolder
where we store all his specific e-mail addresses and usually just copy
contact from main folder with e-mail there. The e-address subfolder is what I
have designated as the default e-mail contacts list. Previously, the auto
fill function was working fine. Now it is intermittent and does not
consistently give any options for auto fill. What is the deal with auto fill?
Does it reset after a certain time? Is there a way to automatically have
e-mail addresses that have been typed and/or replied to sent to my e-address
subfolder for future auto fill use? I need help or my boss is gonna throw me
out the window!
Thanks,
Aylan

Ok, I found how to manually add an e-mail address to contacts by right
clicking the address and clicking add to contacts, but I need it to add to my
contacts subfolder. Is that even possible? Still really confused.

What do you mean by "auto fill"? Are you speaking of Outlook's ability to
suggest addresses to you as you being typing in the "To" or "Cc" fields?
That's autocompletion and it does not reference your contacts in any way
whatsoever. It references a cache of those addresses to which you're
previously sent mail and it can hold up to 1,000 addresses.

If that's not what you mean, please be more precise.
