Contacts show in folders but not in when sending new msg
Hi
I am using Outlook 2003 part of the Office 2003 package on a Windows XP System. I have just restored my Outlook .pst from my back up (have been using MS Backup program to back up my pst file every few days.) Then I have imported into outlook using offices import wizard (Not the backup program). This has now imported all my emails and my contacts into their individual folders that I had them in. (diagram below) Contacts |--- Customers |--- Suppliers |--- Misc But when I go to compose a new email I no longer see the folders that I have put them in and see only ones in the main contact fields. e.g I don't see customers, suppliers or misc. Is their a way to repair this so that Outlook sees the other folders that I have sort my contacts into when i goto compose a new email? Cheers Andrew |

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when
you click on the To button, check these settings: Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is the box to enable as email address book is checked? If this is grayed out... Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com OneNote Tips: "Andrew" wrote in message ...
