MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2005Cannot Use Email Addresses From Contact Folder when sending Emails
Hello Everyone, I am using Outlook 2003. My Contacts Folder is populated with astreet ddresses, email addresses, etc. However, I cannot use the email addresses contained in my Contacts Folder when I want to send an email. After reading many of the Posts, I am still baffled. I have validated that my Contacts Folder is designated as an Outlook Address Book (I checked the box in the Properties Dialogue Box). I have also tried to remove the Outlook Address Book and reload it. When I try to send an email, and hit the "To" button, The Outlook Address Book appears in the drop-down box and says "No entried in this address book" and when I select "Contact" from the drop-down box, and it is empty. Would someone please respond with some ideas...........thanks! Is there more than one folder listed in the dropdown in the address book? > Hello Everyone, > I am using Outlook 2003.

Vince....When the "Select Names" screen appears, the box shows the name "Contacts". When I hit the drop down box, there are 2 separate entries: Outlook Address Book, and under that is another line titled "Contacts" > Is there more than one folder listed in the dropdown in the address book? > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > > > Would someone please respond with some ideas...........thanks! OK... You've only got one contact-type folder, correct? Did you import your contacts from somewhere else? > Vince....When the "Select Names" screen appears, the box shows the name > "Contacts".

My Outlook Contacts are populated by syncing my Palm Pilot to Outlook Contacts. (I don't sync the Calendar) > OK...

But editing the address of any existing contact adds them to the address book? Very odd since that's what the utility I mentioned should do > Vince....no luck....still unable to populate. When the utility started up, it asks for the folder you want to "resolve". If you don't specify a folder, then the default is the "Contact" folder....makes sense, right? So, the "first" time I ran the utility, I did not specify a folder, assuming it would use the Contacts folder. Funny thing is that the couple of items in the address book as a result of your earlier post (when I tested editing, etc.) were deleted after the utility ran! I then ran the utility again and specified the Contact folder and got the same results as the first time. > But editing the address of any existing contact adds them to the address > book?

And I ran the "resolved" utility on the Contacts folder. Still get the same message: "The address list could not be displayed...". I also removed the Outlook Address Book profile, stopped Outlook, restarted and got the following message: "This account or directory type already exists and cannot be specified twice" ( I only had the one profile to choose from). If it's important, I've been backing up the outlook.pst file between my laptop and my desktop... Thanks, Devora > When the utility started up, it asks for the folder you want to "resolve".
