I recently switched from a SBS 2000 server to a SBS 2003 server.
The problem is my contacts are there when I open outlook and click on
contacts I see them at the top left, but when I click to send a new email
and
select to: I can't find those contact groups anywhere and do not know how
to
add them in the list.

Yes, I see all the contacts that are on the server, but I don't see all my
old contacts, vendors, customers, and personal.

Clarify what you mean.
What don't you see that you expect to?

Okay, I reset my profile, I get all the company wide contacts. When I open
outlook and click on contacts I see my basic list of generic contacts, up in
the left hand corner I see a section called My Contacts, and under that shows
my various contact folders, customers, vendors etc...
However, when I compose a new email and click on to: I can browse to the
various company wide email addresses, and my generic contact list, I cannot
get to my other various contact folders

Have you tried this:

- Right click each of your other various Contacts folders
- Left click PROPERTIES on the popup menu
- Left click the OUTLOOK ADDRESS BOOK tab
- Click the checkbox "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book"

They may not show up immediately; give it a few minutes for your server to
authenticate.

Then you must not have read and followed what I posted. If you had, you
would see all your folders in the Outlook Address Book.

It's very easy to do. I've posted the instructions. All you need to do is
enable a Contacts Folder as an email address book in its properties and it
will appear in the Outlook Address Book.
To create a new Contacts Folder use File New Folder
Perhaps you can tell us what you are trying instead and what isn't working
for you.

Okay, one more time...
I had contact folders in my old outlook, vendors, customers, etc...
NOW, in my NEW outlook, I have just contacts, no sub folders of vendors,
customers etc...
I've tried to make a new contact folder in the address book and I'm not able
to, I've tried to do it under contacts and there is NO option to do so.
I can create a new contact, or a distribution list but not a new folder of
say Customers or Vendors or whatever.
