Right click on the Contacts (old) folder, choose Properties, go to the
Outlook Address Book tab and check the "Show this folder as an email address
book" box

I store Contact information in 2 different folders in Outlook, 'Contacts'
and
'Contacts (Old)'. I wish to be able to access names from the 'Contacts
(Old)' folder from the 'Select Names' drop down window periodically when
sending e-mail. I know it is possible because I used to be able to do
this
before my system crashed and I lost everything. I just don't remember how
to
set it up again. Any hints?
