Have about 30 names in my address book (contacts). When I go to send an email and start to type the persons name no person or email info comes up. If I click on the (To..) it brings up the contact list and then I can find who I want and double click on it and it fills in the email address O.K. When I type in the To.. field lets say John and if I have three people that start with John it should bring up all three and then choose the one you want to send an Email to and just click on it and it should fill in the Email address automatically. I can only get two people from the list of 30 to start typing there name and it will fill in there Email address.
Using Windows 7

I received an email from one of my friends and later found out she hadn't meant to send it. Since then, every time I send an email it sends the one I received from my friend to everyone in my address book - I'm guessing this is what happened to my friend. I deleted the email as soon as I realised this had happened but still my hotmail keeps sending it to all my contacts every time I email something else.
I thought at first that it was a bug in my laptop so have run every debug programme I have but accessed my hotmail account from my work computer today and the very same thing happened again.
Can anyone suggest how I can fix this please??
I retrieved the 2 deleted versions of my email account from the Recycle Bin back into Outlook 2013. No Contacts still.
Tried \Users\Username\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\OUtlook as advised by MS website. Nothing there.
I searched for .pst files and .wab files on my back up disc and only found files from 2007!
I found a .cvs file as LIve Mail Contacts (which I no longer use) but it is 5 months out of date.
Why when I delete a duplicate email account does my Address Book go as well?
I have no idea where my current Contacts in Address Book for OUtlook 2013 have gone and how I can restore them. My business is on hold till I can restore them.
I feel I am having an issue that unfortunately too many others have had before me.
I have had a hotmail account for nearly 8yrs without issue.
Yesterday the account got spammed, and sent offensive material to my entire address book, former colleagues, the lot.
I went though the account retrieval procedure, gained access again, moved my important emails to another account and then went to close/delete the account.
I type in my password to confirm I want to close the account and persistantly get the error message:
Our server is having a problem. We're working to fix it as soon as we can, so try again in a few minutes.
That was 24hrs ago, and I am livid as I am still receiving emails to that spammed account and I CAN'T STOP IT!
I just want the account DELETED FOR GOOD!!
Also, I made a new email address with live.co.uk to transfer my Xbox live gamertag too. I do not have a paid for membership but wanted to keep the tag, fair enough I though. However, when I logged into Xbox website with my new email address it immediately generated me a new gamertag that is now stuck to my nice new email address! Cheers microsoft!!!! I now have my original gamertag moved to a 3rd temporary email address and a stupid new tag stuck to my new address!!
How can I get rid of my spammed old account and have the gamertag I didnt ask for removed from my new account please.
I refuse to believe for one second it will be a difficult process for microsoft :/
