I have tried to look this up online, but I'm not coming up with the
information I was hoping for. When typing someone's email, Outlook gives you
suggestions on names or emails that you are typing. Why does it sometimes
give you the name and other times you have to type in the actual address for
it to give you the autofill suggestions? I would like to always type in just
the name so I don't have to remember the email address.

All of these are in Contacts, but in a Public folder of contacts, so I'm
wondering if it's not picking these up to know the name rather than email?

I'm just wondering what determines which Outlook uses for the autofill?

Thanks,

These are being taken from a cache; address you've typed or replied to
before.

For all other addresses use Name Checking (CTRL+K in most versions and for
some other locale it is CTRL+M)
