I want my contact list accessible, similar to Outlook Express. Example: I
type a name for an e-mail. I want the name to pop up - not have to type the
entire e-mail address.

Outlook and OE are totally separate programs, despite their similar names,
and do things differently.

Outlook 2000 and earlier have a feature called autoresolve - meaning, you
can type the first few letters of a recipient's name/address, and either
toggle to another field, press CTRL+K or the Check Names button, and it will
look up to anything defined in your address book (which should by default
be/include your contacts folder)

OL2002 and 2003 have autoresolve and a form of autocomplete - meaning,
anything you've entered before will autocomplete as you type. But it doesn't
do lookups to your contacts folder the way OE does lookups to your windows
address book.
