Russ,
So from your answers I take it that their is no such thing as a
"default"
email address and that I will have to use either of your methods to
switch
between the different email addresses as each change occurs then?
Regards
:
I understood your question. My answer still stands. Did you not
understand
it?
The easiest thing to do is to use autocompletion to select your
recipient.
The most recently used entry will always pop up first.
Or if you prefer, you can turn off autocompletion and use
autoresolution.
With autoresolution, if you enter part of a name or a nickname then
tab
out
of the field (or hit Alt-K [Check Names]), Outlook will attempt to
resolve
the name against your address book. If it can't it'll red underline it
and
you can right click on the name to manually resolve it. Outlook will
save
the resolution for future use.

Russ,
Here is what I want to do once again maybe this is a little clearer
this
time:
For example I have a contact named Curtis Matthiesen and his email
addresses
are as follows:
[email protected] (as Email 1)
[email protected] (as Email 2)
[email protected] (as Email 3)
Now what I am wanting to do is to know that when I address the great
majority of the messages they will go to
[email protected] without
me
having
to do anything other than just type in Curtis Matthiesen and know
that
it
will be sent to Email 1.
I am wondering how I go about telling Outlook which email address to
use
when I type the contacts name for those contacts of mine that have
multiple
email addresses.
I hope this clarifies things a bit otherwise I will write back...
Thanks again...
:
Now you're asking a different question. If you want your Contacts
Folder
to
appear first when you invoke the Outlook Address Book, just set it
to
do
so
in the Address Book > Tools > Options...
For your second question, most users make use of the autocompletion
feature
to present a list of the most frequently used addresses, then use
the
To:
button only when they need to look for an alternate address.

Russ,
Ok if that is the case then how would I go about having that
ability
as
when
I look to address a message under Contacts I see the multiple
names
with
different email addresses however under Outlook Address Book I
have
none
whatsoever.
Can you please inform me of how I can go about being able to do
what
I
am
looking to do so that I can have Outlook address the message to
the
email
address I choose and if need be just use the To: button to choose
an
alternate email address if needed.
Regards
:
Nothing has changed.
No version of Outlook considers one email address as "default"
for
a
Contact.
Perhaps you were using the Windows Address Book before.

Hi there,
I am using Outlook 2003 and I have many contacts that have
multiple
email
addresses and I can not seem to find the option to allow me to
specify
which
email address is the default for my contacts that have more
than
one
email
address as I when I used this option in previous versions it
was
a
lot
easier
than clicking on the To: and choosing the address I wanted..
Any help is appreciated.
RGDS & TIA
Curtis M.
