Default Shared contacts in OE

1. If you're referring to the Contacts pane (View Layout Contacts) being
blank (empty), this will happen if there are more than 999 contacts in
Address Book.

Otherwise...

2. Do you have this Registry key?...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4

If not, STOP; If so, is there a DWORD named UseOutlook (NB: no space) and is
its value set to 1 (one)?

If not, STOP; If so, Address Book is configured to share contacts with
Outlook, even if you don't use it (can happen with the install of Office).
Change the value to 0 (zero), Address Book should be available to you and
all should be well. (If that DWORD is not present, don't create it, and
don't alter any other DWORD values.)

Note that any changes (additions, deletions, edits) made while sharing was
enabled will not be available (displayed) in Address Book when sharing is
disabled.

I compact the folders once a week but this also occurs automatically

frequently.

There are only around 10 messages at any time in my most frequently used
identity inbox atny time.

Sophos Antivirus does not scan emails.

I have created a subfolder of Sent Items in each identity for messages
that
I want to keep.

1. Tell me if MS Office or MS Outlook is installed?

2. In all identities, do you strictly adhere to the list of caveats I
posted in my first reply?

Hi PA Bear

Since fixing the one identity two others have produced the same problem
at
different times ie no contacts showing. I have fixed these in the same
way.

Is there a more serious problem that I need to deal with?

Are you referring to the Shared folder in Address Book or sharing of
contacts with Outlook?

Assuming the former, the identity in question may be damaged,
especially
if
its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a
new
Named Identity (File Identities Add new identity). Assuming all
is
well (i.e., Address Book's Shared folder displays expected contacts),
(1)
compact all folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from the
old
identity into the new one, and then (3) delete the old one (File
Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to
local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and frequently
perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline".

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

way.

Is there a more serious problem that I need to deal with?


YW & thanks very much for your feedback!

Thanks,

Worked a treat. Sorry for the delay, I've been away for a while.

Are you referring to the Shared folder in Address Book or sharing
of
contacts with Outlook?

Assuming the former, the identity in question may be damaged,
especially
if
its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in
a
new
Named Identity (File Identities Add new identity). Assuming
all is
well (i.e., Address Book's Shared folder displays expected
contacts),
(1)
compact all folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from
the
old
identity into the new one, and then (3) delete the old one (File
Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to
local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and
frequently
perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline".

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also
cause
such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

identities.

I have restored from a backup but it only fixet the problem for a
short
