More than 3 email addresses
I have several contacts who have more than three business email addresses
(including myself). It is frustrating to be limited to three email addresses per contact, please remedy this in the next version or better still an interim update. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

The vast majority of Outlook seats are in corporate environments where the instance of a contact having two addresses is rare, and three almost non-existent....... |

If someone had 10 addresses would you actually send a message to all 10 of
those addresses? Put the less used ones in the notes field for reference. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Let's Really Fix Outlook 2010 http://forums.slipstick.com/forumdisplay.php?f=34 "Panrec" wrote in message ...

This is more than a comparison of how Outlook is used. It's a standards
issue. The vCard format has no restrictions to the maximum allowed. I run into this problem because an old workaround to the fact that personal distribution lists don't sync to Blackberries and Smartphones over the air was to create contacts with all the addresses. There actually used to be a way to add these in Outlook, but it was locked down to 3. Also more often now with unified communications phone number fields are being replced by email address fields. I may have an email address for home, work, SMS, fax, assistant, etc. Outlook supports 8 phone numbers, and Active directory supports "other" phone numbers with a multistring field. Exchange supports accepting to multiple email addresses for 1 mailbox. |

More than 3 email addresses
Geez, do you MVP's sell? Rather than try to understand the customer
requirement all of you are pontificating why 3 is enough. This is ridiculous. As almost anyone in an "outward" facing role knows, people accumulate multiple email addresses. YES Diane there are situations where contacting people on multiple email addresses is required (by Law), but I don't want to bore you with these minor (legal) trivia. The fact is Outlook's restriction to 3 email addresses, probably made sense 10 years ago when most people only had one or two. But, in today's world, where my two work blackberries (phone #'s) each have their own email-to-SMS email addresses and plus just my one gmail and 2 work addresess, I'm already over my quota. So please stop pontificating and appreciate why someone might have concerns. - Ray "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: If someone had 10 addresses would you actually send a message to all 10 of those addresses?

More than 3 email addresses
If a vendor sent an email to every known address they could find for me,
they would not get my business ever again. They certainly don't need to send to my blackberry - I get my work mail sent to it already. Outlook supports 3 - if you need more you need to either make a second contact or put the less used addresses in the notes field, where its easy to copy them and paste into a message for sending. Or make a DL for all of the persons addresses. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: "Ray" wrote in message ...

nOt sure what role you play on this but..... people dont tend to use all my
addresses only the ones that they know of..... I have 5 addresses now but not through choice. Different phones, work, satalite sevices and the odd hotmail account soon rack up. And guess what I'm not the only one...... So MS get your act together and design out ths flaw in Outlook for the next release cut and paste is old hat.... thats why you offer the addresses at the cursor !
