The Outlook auto suggestion cache does not suggest an e-mail address when you type a contact name in a new e-mail message after you synchronize the changed contacts with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 client for Outlook

When you type the name of an existing contact in the To line, the CC line, or the BCC line of a new e-mail message in Microsoft Office Outlook, the auto suggestion cache does not suggest an e-mail address for the contact. This problem occurs after you change a field other than the e-mail address field of a contact in Outlook, and then you synchronize Outlook with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM client for Microsoft Office Outlook. After you send another e-mail message to the contact that you created, the auto suggestion cache suggests an e-mail address for the contact.

This problem was corrected in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Update Rollup 3.

Steps to reproduce the problem

The following steps assume that you have a contact in the global address list (GAL) for Outlook and that you have sent an e-mail message to this contact.

1. Add the contact from the GAL to the local Outlook contacts, and then track the contact in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0.
2. In an e-mail message, type the name of the contact in the To line, in the CC line, or in the BCC line. Notice that the auto suggestion cache provides the complete e-mail address.
3. Change a field other than the e-mail address field of this contact in Outlook, and then synchronize Outlook with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM client for Outlook.
4. In a new e-mail message, type the name of the contact in the To line, in the CC line, or in the BCC line. Notice that the auto suggestion cache does not suggest an e-mail address for this existing contact. The auto suggestion cache only works after you have sent another e-mail message to the contact that you created.
