How do i set Microsoft Outlook to automatically save the email address of incoming emails to my outlook address book? I noticed that Outlook Express does it and iwas wanted to do the same for my Microsolft Outlook. Thankd As you pick through the hundreds of spam messages, open a message and right click on the From name and then click on Add to Outlook Contacts on the shortcut menu. > How do i set Microsoft Outlook to automatically save the email address of > incoming emails to my outlook address book? I noticed that Outlook > Express > does it and iwas wanted to do the same for my Microsolft Outlook. Thankd Another thought. Outlook 2003 Help returned this: "Add Contacts from MAPILab Ltd. automatically adds e-mail addresses to the Microsoft Office Outlook® Contacts folder when you reply to a message or send a new message. This helps you avoid losing the addresses of people you correspond with. The collected addresses can also be used for mail filtering-for example, messages from certain senders can be placed in a separate folder to ensure that they receive greater priority and that no important messages are lost with deleted spam."

Thankd Contacts is your Outlook Address book - what are you wanting to do with them?? Judy Gleeson - MVP Outlook Acorn Training and Consulting Canberra, Australia www.acorntraining.com.au When you post in here, always include your version, SP level, and mode (if applicable) of Outlook - you can find this information in Help | About.

This feature is present only in Outlook 2000. If you wish this feature in Outlook 2002 or 2003 you must use add-ins. An example of an add-in for this is Bells & Whistles for Outlook. You can find it at this link: http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/productivity.html >> How do i set Microsoft Outlook to automatically save the email address of >> incoming emails to my outlook address book? I noticed that Outlook >> Express >> does it and iwas wanted to do the same for my Microsolft Outlook. Thankd Since this strand is quite old, I want to clarify if it is still true for Outlook 2007 - did Microsoft REALLY not add a feature that captures email addresses once you receive one to put into the contacts/address book? How inane can this be? > Hi DHUN, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >> Express > >> does it and iwas wanted to do the same for my Microsolft Outlook. Thankd All versions of Outlook require the end user to add a sender or recipient purposefully. That is intentional. The vast majority of users prefer it that way. R click > Add to Contacts works fine. Few of us want Outlook deciding whom to add to our Contacts. We prefer to decide ourselves.

Why couldn't MS just make it an option; that way, you can turn it off and we can turn it on? I believe that was possible in Outlook 2000, and it's hard to believe that this feature has been discontinued. > All versions of Outlook require the end user to add a sender or recipient > purposefully.

It was a feature of Outlook Express, the address book of which Outlook 2000 IMO would use. OL 2000 IMO used a lot of OE for its work. If you want to add contacts automatically when you reply to them, see this: http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/autoaddrecip.htm SignatureBrian Tillman Are you serious? The vast majority of users you know want every sender automatically added to their Contacts Folder without their permission? Indeed, you do live on a different planet. I would not use any email software that would even permit such an option.

At any rate, I've been searching the internet for info on the issue on my own. I do have MS Outlook 2003 (SP3, not Outlook Express, and addresses are auto-magically appearing in my Contacts folder -- some are people I've sent email to, or received email from, and some I'm not sure where they are coming from because I haven't emailed them, or to my knowledge received any email from them -- maybe they are other addressees on email that I've opened. Do you have a solution that would help with this problem? Thank you. SignatureGaGrtz > Are you serious?

There are several capture utilities available.
