Two "Contacts"
I moved my Outlook 2003 pst file from my old computer to a new one.
Somehow this got messed up because Outlook displayed two identical Personal Folders structures under All Mail Folders. I clicked on Data File Management and deleted the second one. My address book was not displaying so I went into Tools/Address Book/Tools/Options and again see two Contacts entries under Show this address list first, Keep personal addresses in, and When sending mail ... By selecting the second entry in Show this address list first and Keep personal addresses in, I was able to both display my address book (from Contacts) and I was successfully able to add a new contact. So now I know these two configuration setting are correct, but this will likely be confusing at some point in the future when I have forgotten the details so I want to get rid of the superfluous Contacts entry. How do I delete the one that doesn't display or allow me to add new contacts? |

Let me start by saying you never add or remove contacts using the Address Book interface. The Address Book doesn't contain any data. It's a view of those Contacts folders you've enabled as address books. You connected you moved PST to your mail profile incorrectly and damaged the Outlook Address Book service. In Outlook, click ToolsEmail AccountView or change existing doirectories or address booksNext. Select Outlook Address Book and click Change. Remove the bogus entry there. Stop and restart Outlook. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
