I set up an IMAP account (exactly as suggested by microsoft faq) to receive
and send email from my AOL account (a recent facility offered by AOL).

Now my contacts list is not synched with outlook. Outlook cannot autosuggest
a contact address. I have 3 items listed under contacts - outlook address
book, contacts, contacts. The second "contacts" still contains my contact
list but outlook has lost its pointer to it somehow.

#1 There is a bug in the whole procedure.
#2 How do I get outlook to use the correct contact file by default once again?

I have blown away the AOL IMAP account - too much grief. I have backed up my
contacts to a pst file. What do I do next please?

Many thanks,

Ian

I have finally fixed it and things are back together again.
There is a problem with the IMAP account process for setting up to send and
receive AOL email and someone should be aware of it and fix it. Contacts are
duplicated in the process, and this screws up the regular use of Outlook.
Thanks (anyone)
