MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2006Non-contacts subfolder in Contacts
There was a massive implosion of a 2003 .pst file requiring the use of the scan tool to repair the file. After the fix all of the contacts were stuck inside of a mail folder, so the folder was dragged to the contents folder (the wrong course of action, apparently) so see if they would automatically convert themselves back into visible, usable contact entries. (They didn't). How do I get this subfolder out of contacts (I know it is there - when I check the folder size it appears with 100k or so of data) since it doesn't show up on the folder navigation pane. Once I get the subfolder out from under contacts, how do I get all of the data back where it belongs? Thanks Maybe a dumb questions, but if the folder doesn't appear on the Folder List navigation pane, how do you know it's there at all?

So, in the Folder List navigation pane, do you see any subfolders for the default Contacts folder? Is this in a .pst file or an Exchange mailbox?
