Default Why does the E-mail field in Contacts not show E-mail addresse

No Brian, it works for new entries. They show the actual E-mail address.

Most of my entries come from the contact list I exported from Windows Mail
that came with this machine. Due to its many limitations compared to Outlook
Express I got Outlook and installed it. I got the mail file transferred after
a few tries and the contacts seemed to go smoothly. Until that is I tried to
set up a list view of my contacts and found that the E-mail field did not
show the e-mail address. Nor does it show the e-mail address in any other
view. (Now that I have figured out what a view is.)

If my situation is different from everyone else I still would not like to
have to reenter all my contacts to get the e-mail address to show. Is there
any other way to correct the situation?

Does for me.

Nor does the Address Card view or the Detailed Address Card view or
any other view to which "E-mail" is added.


If there is a value in the E-mail field, the Address Card views should show
them. Even if the addresses aren't resolved, the Address Card views both
show the values in the E-mail field.

So I ask again, Why does the E-mail field on any view of Contacts not
show the E-mail address that is clearly in the Contact?


Does this happen even if you create a new contact record from scratch?
