Outlook 2007: Contact "Groups"
I am getting a bit confused with contact groups and folders. I created a new
group and then created a main folder within that group. I then imported some contacts into that main folder from Excel. Then, I decided to make additional folders within that new group for a total of about six folders. Somehow I deleted the folders from the navigation pane but they still appear in the address book? How do I get them back in the navigation pane? Also, I see that five of the folders are indented from the "main folder". Why is that? I wanted multiple folders at the same level. |

Groups are meaningless. They are just a grouped view of Contact folders in
the NAV pane, nothing more. If you wanted all Contacts folders at the same level, why did you use Groups? When you create a new Contact folder, it will be a subfolder of the default Contacts Folder unless you deliberately make it a subfolder of the root folder. I think you should use Folder List view so you can see a complete and accurate account of your folder hierarchy so you can see what you've done, then decide what you want to do. The NAV pane is just a customized, filtered view of your folders. -- Russ Valentine "ocean mist" wrote in message ... I am getting a bit confused with contact groups and folders.

Okay, i found folder list view. Is there a way to get back the folders into the folder list view that are still visible in the Address Book? Also in the folder list view I cannot see the folders others share with me. |

If a folder does not appear in Folder list view, you deleted it. You could
only retrieve it from Deleted Items Folder or your backup. The address book view will retain a reference to every folder you've ever had, but it's only an irrelevant reference with no data. Shared folders? What are those? Did you have an Exchange question you wanted to post? -- Russ Valentine "ocean mist" wrote in message ... "Russ Valentine" wrote: Groups are meaningless.
