I suspect you do not have the Outlook Address Book Service installed and
functioning correctly. See if you do. Method varies with Outlook version,
which you did not post.

Is there some reason why the "add to address book" or "add to contact
list"
would not appear when I open an email message and right click on the
sender
name?

Related to this (I think) ... if I hit reply and try to send a message
back,
it can't resolve the address of the sender, i.e., the email address is not
automatically determined.

FYI ... I'm a new user migrating from Outlook Express.

Thanks
