Then what is your question? If you don't use Outlook as your mail client,
why would you have or need a "New message to Contact" option? Why would you
expect one?
I already asked you if you used Outlook for your mail transport.

I did toolscustomizetoolbars and reset the toolbars "standard",
"advanced" and "menu bar". Without any change. It is still not there.
Please note also, that when I go into toolscustomizecommands and
choose the category "actions" I have a whole lot of commands there,
but not "new message to contact".
I have already re-installed Outlook. Same situation.

I don't use Outlook as my mail client, I have another one, if that is
of any importance.
thanks for helping.

Thanks for helping!

Yes, I made sure that the contact has a correct email address (that's
a resolved electronic address,no?).
And I guess, I have a valid mail transport. How can I verify this? At
least I can go into my mail folder and click on new message, and an
empty message pops up. No problem in that respect.

I will verify everything you tell me, but to me, it does not seem
obvious why I can create a new email in my email folder, whereas in my
contacts, I cannot "actionscreatenew message to contact" !

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm sorry, Russ, I wanted to create a new topic, but couldn't then
figured out that I couldn't delete my first posting ...

You told me that I should look in the "create" flyout. But for me,
there is only "new task for contact" and "new journal entry for
contact".

I have searched this group extensively, but could only find those
topics dealing with "DL from categories" where "new message to
contact" is provided as a solution. But I am missing this in my
"actions" menu.

Thanks so much for your help!

In my OL2007 I don't have
Actions"new message to contact"
(even when I select a category or a contact).
It is not even grayed out, it simply does not show up there...
Any ideas ?
