Outlook 2003 Contacts
After re-installing Office 2003 onto a Vista PC I imported my backup pst file
with e-mails and contacts into Outlook; when I now select Contacts in Outlook I see (under 'My Contacts) 'Contacts' which is empty, and 'Contacts in Personal Folders', which has all my data. If I try to send an e-mail and look-up a contact's address, Outlook can only access the Contacts which is empty. I can't delete 'Contacts' but also can't seem to transfer my data into it. Can anybody help with this problem please? |

Outlook 2003 Contacts
Right click on "Contacts in Personal Folders" select Properties/Outlook
Address Book and tick the box. This will display this Contacts folder when looking up a contacts address. Also, you may wish to remove the default PST file that was created when you installed Outlook on your new computer and just use the one with your data in that you moved from your old machine. To do this, first you need to set your default delivery location for new email to the other PST file - go to Tools/Email Accounts/Next and change the field "Delivery new email to the following location" to the other Personal Folders item listed. Then go to File/Data File Management, select the Personal Folders item with the Comment "Mail delivery location" and press Remove. "Meic13" wrote in message ...

That's because you imported. Click ToolsE-mail AccountsView or change existing directories or address booksNext. Select Outlook Address Book and choose Change. Remove the first two bogus folders. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
