For whatever reason, you may need to disable or re-enable the auto-complete function in Outlook but locating the setting can be difficult as it differs between the various versions. As such, I thought I would consolidate the methods to re-enable this feature for each version of Outlook:
Outlook 2003/2007
- Click Tools,
- Click Options,
- On the Preferences tab click the E-mail Options button,
- Click the Advanced E-mail Options button,
- Tick the option Suggest names while completing the To, Cc and Bcc fields to enable the option (or untick to disable).
Outlook 2010
- Click the File tab up the top,
- Click Options towards the bottom of the menu,
- Click Mail in the left side menu,
- Scroll halfway down to the Send Messages section,
- Tick the option Use Auto-Complete List to suggest names when typing in the To, Cc and Bcc lines to enable the option (or untick to disable).
Outlook 2013
- Click the File tab up the top,
- Click Options,
- Click Mail in the left side menu,
- Scroll halfway down to the Send Messages section,
- Tick the option Use Auto-Complete List to suggest names when typing in the To, Cc and Bcc lines to enable the option (or untick to disable).
