Outlook 2003 Minor Setup Problems

I have just reinstalled Outlook 2003 and while the Contacts are their they don't automatically appear when I start entering a recipient in a new email. Does this feature only kick in when I have already sent at least one email to a particular recipient or can it be turned on somehow?

Also, how do I get Outlook to automatically connect to a dial up account when pressing Send/Receive? At the moment it requires a connection to be made prior to sending or receiving..

1) Yes. but make sure it is enabled via TOOLS - OPTIONS - EMAIL OPTIONS - ADVANCED OPTIONS
Tick the "Suggest names" box.

2) Check TOOLS - OPTIONS - MAIL SETUP

Go to Contacts.
Right-click on the Contacts folder, select "properties".
On the Outlook Address Book tab, check the box that says "show this folder as an email address book".
click ok.
