Default OE6 Contact Folder Missing

Hello

I wanted to organize, and take the hundreds of contacts, and group
them into folders. Than I wanted to take the 'corporate' folder and
share (export) to the office workers. However, in Contact New I can
create 'New Contact' and 'New Group' -but there is no choice for 'New
Folder'. It is missing. And I did notice on my co-workers machine the
'Shared' function in Contacts. That feature is also missing.

Thus what I have is no folder in contacts; just hundreds of contacts
in one bulk area. Top tier, so to speak. If there is a method to fix,
to correct, this problem please let me know.

Thanks

Do you have Office Outlook installed? If so, then your OE is likely set
to share the Outlook contacts rather than using its own address book.

To share Contacts between Outlook and Outlook Express

Even if you were able to create the corporate folder, OE has no feature
to selectively export it. It's all or none.

You could create a separate WAB file and make that available to other
users.
