Just installed Win7.

Outlook works fine in all respects except that I have no address book.
Contacts tab works fine so long as I manually use one of the contacts
e-mail addresses, Outlook seems to cache it for future use which means I
can start a New Mail msg, type in a partial e-mail name of a previously
used address from contacts, and it comes up.

However, the address book is completely blank and suggests I "contact
your Microsoft Exchange Administrator" to access the address book.

FWIW, in the services area, I don't see any Outlook services to start or
stop.

TIA.



1. I don't normally connect to an Exchange server. This is a home-built
Win7-64 bit Professional computer with an ASUS P6T motherboard and 6
GB's of memory ... a desktop at home.
2. Yes, it is a POP3 account that is probably incorrectly set up. I'll
check that.

Thanks for you help, Kathleen.
