Why can't I use my Contact List to send e-mails?
 

I printed out and followed the instructions, and still doesn't work. # 3 in
"How to Mark Your Contact Folder for Use with Your Address Book" doesn't
allow me to select anything, type a descriptive name, etc.

In Outlook 2003, I have a well populated list of contacts; however, when I
attempt to send an e-mail to a member of my contact list, Outlook 2003
states
that there are no contacts. I can clearly see the contacts, so why
doesn't
the program recognize these contacts?

Then you've not followed the directions correctly.
Exactly what does the Outlook Address Book Tab show in the Folder's
properties?

Under "How to mark your contact folder for use with your address book" it
says to select the folder you want to use from the folder list. I suspect I
would want to choose the Contacts folder. However, i do not have a
"Contacts" folder in the folder list. I get to my contacts by clicking on
the contacts tab in the lower left of the screen (listed with Mail, Calender
and Tasks). How do i complete this process if i have no folder to select?

Thanks.

Use either the Contacts view that you describe, or the Folder List view.
Right-click the Contacts folder, choose Properties, select the Outlook
Address Book tab and check the box marked "Show this folder as an e-mail
Address Book".

Hi Brian -- I have the same issue that Shelly mentioned. I followed the
steps you presented below, but it didn't work. Is there another step here
(maybe it will work for Shelly, but did not work for me). Thanks

Define "it didn't work". Be explicit.

I have the same problem on Outlook 2003. My address book works fine, but
not with e-mail. After taking the steps you suggest above. when I click
"To" in a new e-mail message, I get the following message.

" The address list could not be displayed. The Contacts folder
assoicated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been
moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions. For information on
how to remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft
Office Outlook Help."

Most likely you are not opening the correct folder in the address book. Look
to see if you are. Remove any old or invalid references to Contact Folders
he
Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories or address
books Outlook Address Book Change.
