MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2005Outllok Contacts - invalid email
I restored a friend's contact list into Outlook 2003 from Outlook 2000. When he tries to use it as an address book to send new mail it inserts the name correctly in the TO: field but it doesn't include the email address....so the send fails as invalid email address....even though the email address is included in the record. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks You did not provide enough information. How did you "restore" this Contact list? It appears to me you did so incorrectly. How is the email address being selected?

The original Outlook 2000 pst was over the 2gb limit. I used a 3rd party tool to repair and convert the pst to an Outlook 2003 pst file. All of the folders and emails were restored correctly. The contacts folder is populated. I can add a new contact and email and then compose a new email. When I click on the TO and find the name I just entered the email gets sent....the TO box shows both the contact name and email address. If I do the same but for one of the contacts that was in the list frombefore, just the name shows in the TO box, no email address...even though the contact contains that person's email address. Then the Contacts were not "restored" correctly, were they? Examine the fields more carefully. I suspect you'll find the email address field is not valid.
