Default OE and Outlook sharing

I have a dilemma: I want to use Outlook for all my mail but todate, I found
been advised that if I try to view my Hotmail account, I have to "live" with
the way the screen appears to "refresh" when you view the Inbox and Bulk
Mail. I view those 2 folders the most and hardly ever use my default email
account. This I find very diffictult on the eye. I need Outlook because I
sync all my Contacts with my mobile phone.

My initial thoughts were : I would use OE to send and receive for the
Hotmail and Default mail account. I would set it so that the email
addresses are added to the WAB and therefore it would update Outlook (I
thought, but you have advised it is not possible to enter contacts in the
WAB and expect Outlook to be updated). Then I thought my Contacts would all
be in one place and then be able to sync with my mobile.

I also only want one Contacts list, and I want to use Outlook. What's the
best way of deleteing the WAB file - manaully select all or just delete the
WAB file itself?

Have others had the same problem and is there an easy solution?

Cheers.

You misunderstand. That key allows Outlook to share with the WAB, not the
reverse.

Hi

I am following instructions using
http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/oeshare.htm and have entered a DWORD
named UseOutlook=1 in the registry. Then added a new Contact to OE (ver
6) and it did not appear in Outlook (2000) default contacts folder. The
Outlook.exe is not running in Task Manager.

Any ideas as to what went wrong? Thank you.
