Contacts missing from To/CC/... lists

[avinc]

Hi All,

I've seen this problem w/ other clients but this time it is no
getting solved so easily. Rather than go over what I have tried, can w
start friom the begining and I will try out what you folks suggest
This is the situation: OL 2003, 3 IMAP accounts, 5 PSTs. Adding
Contact will not be avail to To on a compose email. There are a ton o
addrs there but I think they are all memorized nicknames.

Anybody have any suggestions ?

Thanks,
Deni

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when
you click on the To button, check these settings:

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is
the box to enable as email address book is checked?

If this is grayed out...

Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or
address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add
it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close
then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.

If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll need to
make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book service due to
a bug.
