Contact lists disappeared but still show up when sending emails...
I am running Outlook 2007, I have not upgraded anything. These were there
and editable yesterday and I did not change any settings (knowingly). I open up Outlook and when looking at contacts all my lists are now gone. However when I send an email they still appear from the drop down list. I need to be able to edit the lists but I cannot access them. I have tried restarting outlook and my computer, I am not sure what the issue is. Does anyone know where they went? Thanks |

I need to be able to edit the lists but I cannot access them. The pop-up list that you see when you begin to type in a recipient field of a new message has nothing to do with your contacts. It is simply a list of those addresses to which you have previously sent messages. See this for tools to manipulate that list: http://www.slipstick.com/problems/nicknamecache.asp I have tried restarting outlook and my computer, I am not sure what the issue is. When you click the Contacts folder, what you you see? That's where all your contacts should reside. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Contact lists disappeared but still show up when sending email
Yes Brian, I am not talking about the pop-down list, I should have been more
clear. When typing a new message, I click the "To:" button and another screen comes up. Then on that screen there is a list of all of my contact groups (under address book), with all the emails in their associated group. (i.e. The contact groups are listed and I click one and all the users pop up.) I do not need to manipulate the ones I automatically see there. I do not see any of my contact lists when I go to the contacts tab. That is the issue. They seem to be there in the system, but not when I go to the contacts tab. I can't seem to find an answer on google, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, westy "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "westy" wrote in message ...

Do you mean you click the Contacts button at the bottom of the Navigation Pane? You should see all of the folders yo have that contain contacts items. Try using hte Folder List view and see if you see the contacts folders then. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
