MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2006For email searches, I should be able to select by Outlook contact
Don't you have people who send you email from 2-3 accounts? Isn't it easier to remember a person's name than their email address? Wouldn't it be easier to find an email from John Doe by finding John Doe in your contact list than scrolling through your inbox until you find his email address. And it may be he has sent you email from different email addresses. Rhetorical questions that are all answered by Outlook's robust search functions. Try them. It's not clear what you're having trouble with.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Don't you have people who send you email from 2-3 accounts?

If you have all those addresses recorded in the Contact Record for that Contact, just use the Activities Tab on the Contact Record to find them all. If you don't, then you should be able to use Advanced Find to do the same thing.

That's what the Activities page on the contact item display is useful for. In Outlook 2003, you can also set up search folders to track correspondence.

JJB It will do both as long as a) the messages are still in your folders, b) the activities group that you're viewing is set to show the right folders, and c) the email addresses in the contact record are correct.
