Hi,
For PCs running Windows 98 & Office XP Std Edition, how do I enable autocompletion of email Ids or names.
Like after I click new mail & in "TO" just type "a", I should get all email user names(in my contacts or those who have sent me emails).
How do I enable this feature ?

Go to the Tools menu, choose Options. On the Preferences tab, choose Email Options, and then click on Advanced Options. The bottom section offers both 'Automatic name checking' and 'Suggest names while completing To, Cc, and Bcc fields'

I checked the above & its clicked for "auto names" & "suggest names" alright but still does not work. Do I need to anable anything else ??

try doing something to trigger the address resolution -- hit Ctrl-K, click the Check Name button, or try to send the message, once you've typed just 'a' in the TO: line. It should then prompt you with the names from the Global Address List
