Default Outlook 2007 Distribution List Problem

"Patrick_V" wrote in message
...

Imported data from MobileMe (so I sync an iPhone with the PC). Point is
yes,
I have a folder(??) called Contacts under the My Contacts tab. I have it
syncing well with MobileMe. I can send emails just fine. Since MobileMe
has
tabs for different email addresses (e.g.: Home, Work, Other, custom, etc.)
they translate to E-mail, E-mail 2, E-mail 3, etc. The Distribution List
builder function only seems to want to look at the first E-mail field [in
the
contact information] and if it doesn't have an email address there, it
won't
add it to the list (even though there is a valid address in the 'E-mail 2'
field. So, is there anyway around this short of screwing up my other
application syncs (Mac, iPhone, MobileMe, Gmail Contacts) by having to
re-do
my contacts and put home email addresses into the work email address
fields
(mapped to 'E-mail') ?


When you click Select Members, the address book view will show you ALL
resolved electronic addresses for each contact. You just have to choose the
ones you want. So, if the contact has E-mail2 and E-mail3 defined and
resolved, you'll see two entries for that contact in the address book list,
one for each address. Just choose the one you want. If you don't see those
addresses, then they are not properly resolved, which may be due to the
import, which frequently does not resolve addresses.
