Cannot enter email address by clicking on To: in Outlook 2002
I have a full Contacts folder with several thousand people and email
addresses, but somehow that has been disconnected from the To: button in new emails. When I click on the To: button -- or attempt to type an address and have the remainder automatically filled in by Outlook -- I get nothing. Apparently I'm trying to access the Personal Address Book. ?? The mailbox.PAB is empty while the outlook.PST contains all my email addresses and contact information. I could search in my Contacts for a name, find it, and right click to send a message, but why would I want to do it that way. It seems so much simpler to start a new message with a keyboard command, type in an email address, and have the remainder automatically filled in by Outlook. Or use the To: button. Also, I want to sychronize my contacts with my iPod contacts. Apparently that happens with the Personal Address Book because, while my Outlooks appointments synchronize, the contact information does not. How can I a) import the Contacts into the Personal Address Book or b) use the Contacts in new emails instead of the PAB? Tx. |
