Email Addresses Not Showing Up
Importing is not the correct way to transfer Outlook data. Check two things:
1. See if your Contacts have valid, resolved email addresses 2. See how your Outlook Address Book is configured and whether it displays your Contacts correctly when you open it.

again thanks for replying Russ! I do not know how to tell if my contacts have VALID, RESOLVED email addresses? they look like email addresses to me, but they don't seem to work to send email - if I manually type in an email address in the TO box it will send the email correctly, but using the same address selected from my contacts list, it generates the system admin rejection of invalid recipient how do I find out how my address book is configured? it comes up with a list of contacts and it says my address book is empty? sorry I am not able to answer your queries regards - john "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Well we can probably still fix it if you will answer my queries. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "john" wrote in message ...

Email Addresses Not Showing Up

Email Addresses Not Showing Up
That is not what I asked. I asked you to open a Contact Record, which you do
from your Contact Folder. Examine the email field there and see if that address is valid and underlined. If it is, then save and close that Contact Record and then try to send a message to that Contact and see if you get the same error. On the second issue, I was trying to determine if you have the original data file, not the one you created by exporting. Outlook was already using a data file which you could easily have copied and transferred. There is never any reason to create another data file by exporting. That is where the problems arise. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "john" wrote in message ...
