One person I email daily does not appear in TO field quick list.
Hi chuckmi,
to troubleshoot your issue, you can try this:
Verify Auto-Complete Settings in Outlook:
- Open Outlook.
- Navigate to File > Options.
- Select the Mail tab.
- Ensure that the option "Use Auto-Complete List to suggest names when typing in the To, CC, and BCC lines" is checked.
Clear Auto-Complete List:
- If the option is enabled, clear the Auto-Complete list.
- Open Outlook.
- Go to File > Options > Mail.
- Under Send Messages, click "Empty Auto-Complete List".
- Confirm by clicking Yes.
- Test by sending emails to the same address to check if AutoComplete works.
If the issue persists, consider re-importing suggested contacts or deleting the AutoComplete cache.

In Outlook, my "File" has no "Options", so what do I do instead??
SoniaDMac has it a bit different. Are you using a Microsoft email account or another one? Usually autocomplete is managed by the address book for email accounts.
Further to my last reply, it is only for the one email address! Other email addresses are auto-completing just fine!
Hello,
I am using Microsoft® Outlook for Mac, Version 16.94 (25020927); License: Microsoft 365 Subscription, Copilot for Microsoft 365
When I go to my desktop version of outlook, file, there is not an "option" option. Where else can I find the autocomplete function?

LeonPavesic this happens at least once per month, in several computer of our company, and the recomended solution is always what you said or reboot (holy MS cure). But being like that and affecting several users as you can read means its really a bug that wasn´t been adressed. Latelly all software from MS seems to be developed just half way, without focus on the basic fuctions to work properly, and even if I may say, without sense or direction resulting in a decline in productivity and functionality. I would really re.think everything being done, and till then solve those basic problems. Want one more example of so basic fails, Teams calender doens´t have a monthly view. Just sad!
