MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2005Make the contact list the first place to look for email names
Several months ago, I posted a similiar message. I had just migrated from Outlook 2K to 2003 at work, and was unable to get Outlook to search my contacts list instead of our networks global address list as the initial source for email addresses. Russ Valentine pointed me to the Address Book - Tools - Options, and that did the job. Unfortunately, I have now moved to a new desk, and have a similiar problem, except that my personal contacts do not show up in the combo boxes on this dialog. The listbox only displays the "Global Address List" option. When I try to use the add button to add my personal contact list to the listbox. it is not visible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Use Tools | Email Accounts to add the Outlook Address Book to your mail profile.

How do I reset the default? And I have a related question. Can the email addresser recognize and insert real names with and/or as well as email addresses? So far, it only recognizes portions of the actual email address, not the person's name, then plugs in only the email address. PS I recently imported my addresses into Outlook from Yahoo using a Windows CSV file. I had to define several fields to display in the contacts window (such as email address, business phone, etc.), but all the information came over OK.

How do I reset the default? Once you have it in your profile, you can work with your contacts folders in the address book. Use Tools | Address Book, then Tools | Options to get to the address book dialog where you change the list that's shown first. You'll probably want to use the Contacts folder that should be listed under Outlook Address book. > And I have a related question.

You can adjust the lists used for address resolution on that save dialog.
