When sending an Email I need to sort contacts by location, Email address or
name.
Name is in the default how do I get Email address and location fields to
display in the "Select Names" dialog box so I can sort on them to locate the
contacts I want to send Email to. (In OE this would be the "Select
Recipients" box.)

Cheers,
Miles

Outlook does not provide a way to customize the Select Names dialog.

Does this mean, in Outlook, if I want to send Emails only to my contacts in
France I can't without knowing their names and adding them individually?
Surely not.

Not at all. It means that the Address Book is a poor interface from which to
filter and select recipients. Most of us use the Contacts Folders to do
that. They are designed for that. The Address Book is not.
