MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2006How do I save emails in Activities folder?
How do I save emails in Activities folder on Outlook Contacts? There is no Activities folder (unless you created on by that name). The Activities page on a contact shows items in Outlook folders related to the current contact. For email folders, it shows messages to or from one of the contact's email addresses.

I have found the Properties dialog for the Contacts folder, and gone to the Activities page to check the settings for the Activities groups, as you suggested. However, the emails that I have sent and received are still not listed on the Activities page for my contacts. Any suggestions as to what I should do now? > Bring up the Properties dialog for the Contacts folder and go to the Activities page to check the settings for the Activities groups defned for tha folder and modify or create new ones to give you information from the folder(s) you're interested in. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >> > >> > How do I save emails in Activities folder on Outlook Contacts?

Yes - the email messages are in the Sent and Deleted folders of my Inbox. However, they are not in the Activities folder of any of my contacts.

What about the email addresses? Basically, there is no "Activities folder." When you display a particular activities group for a contact, Outlook launches a search of the folders in that group for items that match the contact. For mail messages, the matching is done on the email address. If you change the address listed in the contact, you won't match items with the contact's earlier address.

I understand that there is no 'activities folder'. What I am referring to is the 'Activities Tab' for each Contact. I have not changed the address for any email contact. The problem is that in the past, I was able to click on the Activitites Tab for each Contact, and see the emails for that Contact. Now, when I click on the Activities Tab for a Contact - I get the message "There are no items to show in this view". Even though I have just sent and received emails from that Contact. Mystery! > What about the email addresses? > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > >> >> >> > >> >> >> > How do I save emails in Activities folder on Outlook Contacts? I would try creating a new activities group that includes the folders you want to search and then switch to that group on the Activities tab. For troubleshooting purposes, you might also see if Advanced Find can locate the items you're interested in with a simple email address search.
