False. You didn't read carefully enough. You ignored the disclaimer: "In
certain configurations. " That disclaimer referred to Outlook 2000 in IMO
mode, which was actually Outlook Express. What you claim does not occur in
valid installations of Outlook 2003 unless you upgraded from IMO and have a
corrupt profile.

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).

Whoa, hold the phone... a.) that Slipstick article explicitly states that
new contacts entered in OE are also seen in Outlook, and; b.) I just tried
it, and it works here. (Outlook 2003; OE6)

I didn't enable it using RegEdit, though, I just used the Tools - Options
menu in the OE Address Book window.

So possibly worth another look before you write this avenue off.

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.
