Address Book missing contacts

[mrcuddy]

My Outlook 2003 Address book shows Contacts but it contains only people
I have emailed since my machine(Windows XP Media Center Version 2002
SP2) was built, maybe 20 or so. I have over 500 people in my Contacts
folder. The checkbox is marked in properties to show "Contacts" as an
email Address book. "Contacts" is an option within Address book.
Ideas?

The addresses may not be resolving, something that can happen if the
addresses are imported from a database or CSV file. Try this free resolve
utility and see if it makes the rest visible:

Resolve E-mail Address Utility

"This utility program will resolve all your Outlook Contacts' e-mail
addresses. If a contact's e-mail address does not appear in your Outlook
Address Book, the address needs to be resolved."
