Default Address Book problem

Ever since connecting my Motorola phone via Phonetools to my laptop,
whenever I type a name in the To: box (instead of opening Address
Book and selecting name from there) it now gives me for instance a
friends mobile number instead of her email address like it used to.
Any ideas how I can rectify this?

Default Address Book problem

Hi Lynn,

This isn't an Outlook Express issue. Motorola provides manuals in PDF format
for its phones, which may be a good way to find the answer. The issue might
be resolved by changing the sort order of the phone's address book, but I am
not familiar with the feature in question.

This may or not be correct for your phone model:

Press Action
-------------------------------------------
MENU open the Phonebook Menu
Scroll scroll to Setup
Select select Setup
Scroll scroll to Sort by
Change select Sort by
Scroll scroll to Name, Speed No.,
Voice Name or Email
Select select the sort order

Thanks for your reply, I just presumed there might be a way of
ensuring that when using OE6 the names it selected when composing a
message were from the OE6 Address Book, which don't contain the
'mobile' names and number.

Default Address Book problem

Hi Lynn,

I have not seen this issue, or a possible resolution. Is the mobile phone
number given in an entries properties sheet in the address book opened from
OE? If not, I don't know where auto-complete might be getting this
information. Hopefully someone else will have an answer that will be
helpful.

Default Address Book problem

Hi Tim
No this entry is not showing in the OE Address Book, it has me
baffled but I seem to recollect I have seen it shown somewhere (just
can't find it now) I had a feeling it was showing in Windows
Explorer somewhere under a Contacts list, but not sure. If I find it
I'll post the details.

Hi Tim
I've found the listing I was thinking about. Control Panel -
Internet Properties - My Profile all my mobile phone details are
stored there as well as my email addresses!!
