Default Outlook contact is deleted when dragged and dropped to folder

Have been working with a large org that moved from GroupWise to Outlook 2003
and came across a lot of issues but not that one.

It sounds like their Contacts aren't really Contacts. What icon appears
beside theirs? Is there anything different about their Contacts settings?

Is that their primary Contacts folder??

Here's a strange one...

Typically, a user can select one or more contacts and then drag&drop them
onto a mail folder (or the mail button in the Navigation pane, in the case

of
Outloom 2003, which we are using here) in order to create a new mail

message
to these person(s) as recipients.

I can do this without issue at this facility, however there are two

recently
converted users from the Groupwise environment who lose their Contact when
they attempt this. The contact is gone, not in DELETED ITEMS, Not in the
MAILBOX and nowhere to be found in the information store. I've attempted
using the RIGHT-MOUSE button click and drag technique to see if they have
choices (as I do). But these two users do not have the shortcut menu.

Their
Contact simply disappear in this case as well.

Has anyone come across anything similar to this situation elsewhere? There
are 14 pilot users here who have been migrated however these appear to be

the
only two affected by it.

Thanks in advance!
