Default Typing addresses in new e-mails

I recently changed from Outlook Express 6 to Outlook 2002 and have a
couple of questions:

1. I imported my e-mail addresses from the OE address book to the
Outlook contact list. However, many of my contacts in OE have more than

one e-mail addresses, but only the default e-mail went to Outlook. Do I

have to manually enter the secondary e-mail addresses?

2. In the advanced e-mail options, I have checked "suggest names while
completing To, CC, and BCC fields." However, if I start to write
someone's name on an e-mail it does not suggest anything. Only if I
start to write an e-mail address will it finish it. How can I change
the options so after typing a couple of letters of the first name it
will complete the name? This is something that I was able to do in OE
and I hope that I can also do it in Outlook.

Thank you.
Caryl

Autocompletion in Outlook has nothing to do with your Contacts. It uses an
autocompletion cache which you populate only when you actually send
messages. Yours is not yet populated.
Importing from OE does not transfer all information.
