Yeah, I'm not sure why you say Outlook makes you scroll. Isn't there a way to select the list then type letters to reach a name quickly?

I don't use Outlook, so I don't know, but I can't imagine they'd force you to scroll. There's got to be a way to quickly get to a specific name.

And when you hit the "compose mail" button, typing part of the name doesn't do an auto-lookup where it fills out the rest of the name for you? Heck, even Gmail does that.

Yeah, everything you say is accurate. Supporting Outlook is like the #1 thing I have to do at my job Anyway, if you're typing in a name in the "To..." field, Ctrl+K will start the lookup feature. But in general, if you just type a sufficiently unique name it should automatically fill out the address for you if you tab to or select a different field. And yes, if you click on the "To..." button, typing in a name should jump to that name, but I think it only works for last names or however the names are listed in your address book.

*edit*
Tony, I think you and I were misreading him. I can't vouch that any of the above information works in Outlook Express
