Microsoft seems to be a little vague about its autocomplete function, and I have found Google to be the same way.  As I recall, autocomplete data is also stored differently depending upon the version of Outlook.  When I tried to move contacts from a BrailleNote into Gmail which is where they had to go to be used by a BrailleNote Touch, I was really frustrated with the lack of specifics that I could get from Google as well.  I realize that is not quite what you are doing, though.
