As long as you enable each subfolder as an email address book they will
appear in the Outlook Address Book and each will be searched. Depending on
how you conduct your search, Outlook may stop searching after it finds the
first hit.

I think I know what your asking. As I said I would rather not sync ALL of
the contacts I have in my main (defautl) contacts folder. The main contacts
folder is the only contacts folder I have used for many years and benn
migrated all along from previous versions of Outlook. So if I only want
certain contacts to synce then I should create one or more contact folders
or subfolders. Then move all the contacts that I don't want to sync out of
the main to those I have created. This way those that are left in the main
folder would be the contacts I want synced.

I don't mind doing that and hope moving the contacts would be an easy
task. My only concern is that if I have several contact folders, will all
of the bells and whistles of 2003 be able to find a contact in the
background as it has in the past or just one main contact folder? For
example when I want to put a person in the "TO" address, will it
automatically look through all the other contact folders in addition to
the main one to match up a name or will I have to select each sub contact
folder to search through?
