I am responding in OE, thanks for that Russ, makes life easier.  How can I
set up multiple newsgroup servers?

In response to your response, I do not understand why my links could have
broken in the first place.  All you said is "the possibilities are endless."

I am trying to comprehend what negativity is associated with half my
contacts not being picked up by my Activities tab.

I would like all my contacts to appear the same, to elaborate on what I
said, perhaps I am becoming Outlook OCD, but it is bugging me.

You said broken links cannot be restored.  I don't get what the point of
contact management software is if you have to re-create half of your
database every 4 years.  I do not want to do that to say the least.
Obviously the Contacts themselves work, they sync to my Smartphone and their
own respective Activity windows associate with my inbox, tasks and other
folders properly.  They just don't automatically pop up in my window.

At times I rely on my customized Activity window to look at tasks,
appointments, etc. and since only half of the info is there apparently, it
makes that extremely unreliable.
