How do I find my list of addresses and save a new one? When forwarding, I have to click through a whole load of addresses to get to the ones I want and then, delete the ones that I did not want. It wastes a lot of time.

Email is one of the most used modes for working people to share files and other info across the globe these days. The users of Hotmail have faced the issue of sending the mail to a wrong person by getting the wrong suggestions for email address.

Hotmail had this bug for a while and still gets on sometimes; it works on the system by which you can look for the auto-complete addresses in Hotmail.

When you send mails to a particular address for a number of times,Hotmail's auto complete is suggesting the wrong email addresses Articles Hotmail gives you the suggestions for the mailing addresses which start with the same alphabet as you’ve typed in the recipient block while composing a new mail.

However, the information is saved of the recipients; it can suggest you wrong address because you have earlier not sent mails to the person you now wish to send one. Sometimes, you might not remember if you’ve sent a mail to the person that you wish to send one now. In this case, you would look for the address in the previously sent list and still won’t see a suggestion for the similar recipient. In some other cases, the address you wish to see in the suggested list of recipients may not be the most used one; so it may not appear on the suggested list once again.

This issue is minor if you pay a close attention to the recipient address while sending a new mail as you can confirm that it’s the same address you wish to send the mail. But in some other circumstances if you might not give much consideration to confirming the recipient address, it can result in a blunder which causes you heavy drop in your work.
