Auto fill won't fill my email

I use autofill a lot in outlook but for some reason it will not suggest my own email. I am in the contacts and I have even flagged my contact as a favorite but when I am adding to the TO or CC lines ...

Thanks Teresa but my problem is not in removing a contact from the autocomplete list but in adding my own email to it. It used to be if I started typing a name with a "t" that my email "tomper..." would be in the list. Now even though I am in the contacts list and a fav it never comes up at all.

Hi Tom_Perham,

 

Your email address is also saved in the auto-complete list.  Do you think you may have 1,000 contacts or items in the auto-complete list?

 

Before yesterday's post, I tested the auto-complete with my email address, and it worked adequately as you described. However, I don't have 1,000 items saved in the auto-fill list. 

 

Give it a try and report back.

 

Thanks.

    I have been googling how to find out how many items you have in your autocomplete but can't seem to find a way. I am in the process of deleting from the autocomplete but I suspect even if I get below the 1,000 items limit I will be faced with the same problem.
