I moved my contacts into the contacts folders of the address book but it
created 2 CONTACTS FOLDERS the default CONTACTS is empty and when I try to
open the address book I get "The address list could not be displayed. The
Contacts folder associated with this address list could not be
opened.....".
Then from the dropdown I select the next Contacts folder and I get my
addres
list.
How can I switch the default folder or can I eliminate the first Contact
folder (empty one) and leave only one in it?
