I have 2 contact folders on my Outlook 2007 (one in local folders and one in
Hotmail account). I have set my address book to Hotmail contacts but I cannot
remove connection to Local contacts. When I search for a name in contacts I
everything works well, but when I do a "check names" in an a new e-mail, it
does not look at any of my contact folders but goes directly to my ldap
server. When I was using Outlook 2003 under same configuration everything
worked fine. Can anybody help?
