I have an address book set up with First name, Last Name, email address. When I start typing a person's name in the 'To' field of a new email it only displays their email address. Can I have it display the 'First and Last' names instead?

It's not blank. It has first name, last name showing. Emails I receive, show first name, last name followed by their email address but when I create an email, it's just the email address.

Emails you receive - the sender may have inserted the display name prior to the email address.

You mention 'First Name, Last Name' but you were asked specifically 'Display name' In Address Book Select the contact Click on 'Edit' Is that 'Display name' field empty? If yes, Enter their name in 'Display name' field Click on 'Save'
