Somehow I have 2 "contacts" lists. One empty one full. Help

[Vernon]

When I moved from one computer to another, I ended up with 2 "contacts"
lists. The one in Contacts is the right one. But when I try to mail
something out, there are no addresses there when I click on "To". Anyone
help?

What version of Outlook do you have?

Ok, try deleting the duplicate list here: Tools menu > Email accounts >
View/Change existing address books or directories > Click Next > Highlight
Outlook Address Book > Click Change

Ok - I was able to get rid of the empty "Contacts" list. When I went into
the correct list and tell it to be my "address list" it appears to be ok but
when sending messages, I click on "to" and get an empty list with the word
"accounts" in the upper right window. I can click on it and get my list but
this is cumbersome. Help again please. Vernon

Do you have an empty contact-type folder named "Accounts"?

I finally found the answer. Click on "Address book" icon. Click on tools
and then options to order the contact list desired in address book. Simple
but obscure. thanks a lot. Vernon
