The recipients of email messages that are sent programmatically in Outlook 2013 aren't added to the users nickname cache. Therefore, when you try to send an email message to the same recipients manually, you won't get any suggestion for those recipients' names. This update enables you to turn on the ability for recipients to be added to the nickname cache when email messages are sent programmatically. To change the behavior, install the MS16-099: Description of the security update for Outlook 2013: August 9, 2016, and then follow these steps.
