Why doesn't my Yahoo! Mail auto-complete recipient email addresses anymore?

When I used to create emails @ Yahoo! Mail, I could type in the first few letters of a person's name in the "To:" field and it would pop up a list of matching persons in my contacts. Now, not only does it not do that anymore, but it also asks me if I want to add the addresses of the people I sent emails to to my contacts after sending them an email (and they are already in my contacts). This has been going on for a few days now and I am about ready to give up on Yahoo! mail.

Why doesn't my Yahoo! Mail auto-complete recipient email addresses anymore - once again

My Yahoo Mail no longer auto complete email addresses! It does some of them... but new ones that I have recently added it will not auto complete even though they are in my address book. I can not find an answer for this that is current. 05.05.15

There is a glitch at this time with the auto complete. Yahoo is aware of it and said they have their engineer looking into it. Many are having the same problem. They hope to have it fixed soon. Many are switching to the New Mail where it still works fine
