Outlook 2003 - Address book filter non-email contacts

M

More than 50% of my contacts do not have email addresses,
so it therefore clutters the Address book unnecessarily.
Is there anyway to allow the address book (the popup which
appears when clicking on "To:") to only show contacts that
have email addresses? I can use categories to assign
contacts as ValidEmailUser, but I can't seem to find a way
to force the address book popup form, to show based on a
category. Thanks.

That's odd. I have never seen the Outlook Address Book display Contacts
without electronic addresses. It simply won't do that. Do these Contacts
perhaps have fax numbers, pager numbers or other valid electronic addresses?

Thank you Russ. Your response led me to take a closer
look. I guess the upgrade from Express (or maybe a
previous import) defaulted the email addresses with some
text "Email address does not exist" in the email address
field. So, I went through and removed this text (blanked
out the email address field) and the names no longer
appear. Problem solved! Thanks again.
