As someone who works in computer security, I can confirm it is down to how his browser implements the AUTOCOMPLETE HTML attribute.

and seeing how IE11 hasn't been out long, that could be the problem, I use 3 different browsers simply for the fact that some websites work better in either Chrome or Firefox than IE, even today I was having problems with FF not liking the Tesco website, worked fine in Chrome

Note my initial exact words - "Windows Live Mail (I think it's now Outlook?)".

Possibly you meant "Windows Live Hotmail is now called Outlook.com", since Windows Live Mail and Outlook (or indeed Outlook.com) are entirely different from one another, and Outlook the pro client has never had a name change.

The first rebuttal came from Oliver, where he used the term Outlook when what was needed was a reference to Outlook 2013

Not really, I was referring to Outlook as a product without any specific version (2013, 2010, 2007 etc), and the correct way to do that is to refer to it as "Outlook" in my opinion. Had I wished to refer to the webmail I would have said "Outlook.com".

That is not WLM; that is Outlook.com, M'Soft's Webmail that used to be Hotmail. Not to be confused (except by M'Soft) with Outlook 2013, a paid PC email client.

Yes , I know. That's exactly where others have confused the issue, not me.

Au contraire! You were the 1st to introduce the term "Outlook (query)" to the valid alternative discussion of using an email client by wrongly referring to and linking to the Webmail Outlook.com, wrongly confusing it with the email client WLM and rightly lambasting its design but attributing that to WLM. Everyone else is correctly using "Outlook" to mean the whole family of email clients (usually issued as a component of MS Office) whose latest incarnation happens to be Outlook 2013, to which I linked by example, but could equally be one of the earlier issues.

I'm still unclear whether you "setting up WLM for several non-geeks" refers to the real email client WLM or the Webmail Outlook.com. If the latter, no wonder you had problems.

You are effectively confusing the OP by implying he use one webmail instead of another

Where did you get that from?

I said "implying" not "championing". OP is using BT Webmail; Schrodingers_Cat usefully suggests he use email client WLM instead; you mistakenly interpret WLM as the Webmail Outlook.com. Hence it looks like Schrodingers_Cat is suggesting OP use Webmail Outlook.com instead of BT Webmail.

... which will not work as they each address diff mailboxes.

[baffled]

BT Webmail only looks at the email addys stored on its own, BT's, mail server, e.g. [email protected] . Webmail Outlook.com does likewise for the Outlook.com server, e.g. [email protected] or [email protected] . These are diff domains of email addys.

Yes.

RobertoS said "when arguing detail, omitting detail matters" which is precisely why I said in my previous post "Outlook is the paid client aimed at corporate" to distinguish it from Outlook.com the consumer webmail service.

But apparently we are the confused ones!
