Outlook 2003 cannot remember recently typed email addresses...the settings "Automatic name checking" and "Suggest names" are checked....why isn't it remembering contacts?  the only thing remebered are very very recently used contacts.  Ones used hours ago...Also, when I popped this account from Omnis the address book wasn't copied over.  Now that it is copied over I cannot add new contacts to an existing address book?
