I bought a new laptop. I has been using Outlook 2003. I exported all my email
files to a file the way you are supposed to, export as .pst and then imported
via our network from the saved file. I have always opened a new email and
clicked on the "TO:" spot to choose who I want to send the email to. I
currently can only see the names in my contacts but not in my address book
like my other Outlook program. Please help. I see my contacts but want them
in my address book like before.
 
Right click on the Contacts folder, choose Properties, go to the Outlook
Address Book tab and check the "Show this folder as an email address book"
box
 
I tried to do that but it was already checked. Name of the address book is
"contacts", maybe that's the problem. What next?
 
Okay, this is complicated but when I click on To.. a message comes up: "The
address list could not be displayed"...etc.. and when I click OK it goes away
and the "select names" dialog box appears but without any names until I go to
the drop down that says "contacts" and low and behold there is another
"contacts" list and when I scroll down one and choose it, it displays the
names that are supposd to be available. How can i get rid of the empty one
and get the other contaxt list to come up when I click To..? Thanks so much!
 
Just remove the invalid entry reference to Contacts here:
Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address
books > Outlook Address Book > Change.
