Address book has no entries!

B

Barry

I have hundreds of contacts in my contact list but the address book is empty.
Therefore, when I am addressing new email, there is no list available to
pick names from. I have tried importing all the contacts back into Outlook,
but the address book is still not populated.
Does anyone know how to repopulate the address book???
Thanks in advance,
Barry

We could probably tell you except you conveniently forgot to mention your
version of Outlook.

You probably need to add the Outlook Address Book service to your profile.

In Control Panel->Mail Icon->Email Accounts->View or Change->Directory->View
or Change. Is the Outlook Address Book service listed? If yes, try
deleting it, close and reopen Outlook and then go back a step and add it.
If it is not listed, go back one step and select Add.

Whenver making changes, always close and reopen Outlook for the change to
take effect.
