Online Contacts vs Internal Contacts
I'm using Outlook XP at home, POP3 account setting. I created an account
with a profile, I chose to use an existing PST file as my "Deliver New Email" location. In that PST file has a folder "Contacts", which has some contacts listed. When I click on the address book icon to open it, and go to contacts, it is blank. I gather there are two different contact listings??? I transferred the contacts from the Online Deliver New Email "Contacts" folder to the one when you click on the address book, Contacts. Here's what I done, I right clicked on the Contacts Folder Properties Outlook Address Book Tab, and checked "Show this folder as an email address book". That did partly what I wanted but not exactly. Doing that, I now have "2" contacts listed, one is blank and the other of course is one I just created. I believe the blank Contact, is actually the system generated one when the profile was created. I really want the contacts from the "Folder Contacts" to be in the system generated one, and not create a second contact list. Is it possible? Thanks in advance, Mark |
