When you begin typing a name into the To field, Google ties to help you by offering a list of names on our service to choose from. Since their are about 4000 student and staff accounts on our service, the list can be long and may not show the person you want until you narrow it down by typing more characters. A faster way to narrow down the choices is to type the first initial and last name of the person you are sending to. Press the Tab key when the person you want is at the top, or use your mouse to select from the list.
