Thanks Brian for the reply.

We are using a tool called Scribe which uses an API Adapter for
Exchange/Outlook. I believe that I have narrowed it down to the "E-
mail Display As" field on the Contact form. That field is typically
auto-populated upon opening a Contact record. The Contact properties
include an EmailOriginalDisplayName which at first I was under teh
impression was the Display As for the email. Instead it is what
appears in the E-mail address field on the Form.

What I need to find out, Is what Property ID (or Hex ID) for the field
that stores the "E-mail Display As". Is it stored somewhere on the
Contact? If I get the Hex ID I can change my MetaData to populate the
field on import.

How?

The Contacts appear fine when viewing from the Folder List.
The folder has been setup to Show in the E-mail Address Book; however,
the contacts do not appear. I have noticed that if I open a contact
that was imported, and "Save & Close" the contact will then appear in
the Address book properly after closing and re-opening Outlook. The
problem is that I have 15,000 contact and that is not a feasible
approach.

Importing doesn't enable the resolving of mail addresses. *It's one of the
