MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / May 2008Contacts folder property
HI, In the properties sheet of the Contacts folder, the option for Show this folder as Addressbook is not highlighted but shows checked. My new entries to the contacts folder dont show in the Address book. Can I do anything about this? Thanks for any help. Ramesh Create a new mail profile.

Thanks Ramesh > Create a new mail profile. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > | > | Ramesh You cannot create a new profile in IMO. Nor do you need to. The setting to which you refer is exactly as it should be in IMO mode. What makes you think you need to change it?

If Contacts are not appearing, you have a problem with Outlook Express and Windows, not Outlook. Make sure you are entering your Contacts in the same Contacts Folders that the address book view is displaying. State what is showing in the address book view. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Thanks Milly. > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> | >> | Ramesh Thanks Russ. My problem is the new entries i make in Contacts folder do not appear in the Address book which is used in Outlook. No problem with the old entries. When I looked in the properties of Contacts folder, the option for Show this folder as Address book is not highlighted, though it is checked too. This problem is only on my laptop but the same thing is highlighted in my desktop and i dont have this problem there. I am seeking a solution for this issue. I use O2k.

I have 2 contacts folder. One called Diary and another the default Contacts. The one which appears in the Address book is Contacts. Diary is not checked for showing in the Address book.
