Outlook 2000 Names replacing e-mail addresses
Hi, All,
I'm using Outlook 2000 with WindowsME and synching successfully with both a Windows CE device and a Psion. But recently, in my Contacts, in the e-mail listing, I'm getting the name of the contact (which brings up the Properties when clicked) instead of the e-mail address itself. The e-mail address synchs fine with the handhelds; it's just not displaying itself properly in a Contact in Outlook 2000. How can I fix this? Thanks, Jake |

Depends on your mail support mode.
Only Corp/Workgroup allows access to the Display name. Such a change is cosmetic only. Not sure why you feel you need to make it. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jake" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2000 Names replacing e-mail addresses
I've searched this forum, and found that my problem may not have a solution.
I'm using IMO, which does not seem to be display-adjustable. But why could I display the e-mail addresses before, and now am stuck with Names? Thanks, Jake |

Thanks for your quick post. In fact, your post beat my follow-up about IMO and its lack of adjustable display. I use IMAP so I'm stuck with what I have.
As for the cosmetics, the lack of a visible e-mail address simply means more clicks to Properties/Email and copy if one wants to send on a contact's e-mail without using Outlook mail. It's a strange bug, to have an e-mail display and then not, and nothing in between. Again, much obliged for your help, Jake |

You'll be interested to know that in successive versions of Outlook the
Display Name was changed to show both the email address and the familiar name. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jake" wrote in message ... Thanks for your quick post.
