MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2008Outlook 2002 distribution list contacts aren't saved
I set up a Contacts email distribution list with Outlook 2002/XP. Since my ISP is MSN I also use Outlook Connector. When I attempt to send out an email using the distribution list, the email addresses are gone and the distribution list is empty. I've used the detect and repair option but this hasn't fixed this issue. Anyone have an idea why I'm having this problem and how I can fix it? Thank you!!! DFW Where are you creating these DL's?

You are using an unsupported HTTP account as your only transport. You have at least 2 different PST files, right. And I have no idea how and whether you configured the Outlook Address Book.

Is that like General Motors not supporting their engines since they were made in a Buick factory? Enough carping and let's get back to the topic.... The PST file should be located at: drive:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. When I click FILE, DATA FILE MANAGEMENT, Outlook shows "not available" for my email address. The Personal Folders do use the PST file path specified above (it shows drive:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Personal Folders(3).pst). I do see the Filename listed under Archive Folders, another for an email account using gmail, and 3 Personal Folders. As for how & whether I configured the Outlook Address Book, please explain what details you're looking for so I can provide the information. > Fine. But I asked where you where creating the DL.

Your Outlook profile is a mess. How did you end up with 3 PST files? There is way more to your story than you have been able to tell us that would explain why you cannot create and save DL's.

Here's what's in the Outlook Data File: archive.pst DanaMSNsmtp.gmail.com-00000015.pst Outlook1.pst Outlook.pst OutlookMSN-00000005.pst Personal Folders(1).pst Personal Folders(2)backup.pst Personal Folders(2).pst Personal Folders(3).pst Personal Folders(4).pst I've used the Outlook program since August 2002. MSN's Outlook Connector was originally set up to sync with Outlook 2002 and MSN mail. I'm just curious why I have no problem with other DL's except for the latest one that keeps erasing the contact emails so the DL shows no contacts associated with it. > No. I'm saying that to use an MSN HTTP account you must use the Outlook > Connector, which is only compatible with Outlook 2003 and 2007.

Your Outlook version is long out of support and not compatible with HTTP mail from MSN. The long list of redundant PST files indicates a corrupt profile from end user error in migrating Outlook data incorrectly.
