Auto Add Contact
 

We must be on different planets: the vast majority of users I know want the
auto-add feature. Why couldn't MS just make it an option; that way, you can
turn it off and we can turn it on? I believe that was possible in Outlook
2000, and it's hard to believe that this feature has been discontinued.

R click Add to Contacts works fine. Few of us want Outlook deciding whom
to add to our Contacts. We prefer to decide ourselves.

Since this strand is quite old, I want to clarify if it is still true for
Outlook 2007 - did Microsoft REALLY not add a feature that captures email
addresses once you receive one to put into the contacts/address book? How
inane can this be?

Hi DHUN,



You mean save email address of replied emails to contacts...



This feature is present only in Outlook 2000. If you wish this feature in
Outlook 2002 or 2003 you must use add-ins. An example of an add-in for
this
is Bells & Whistles for Outlook. You can find it at this link:

It was a feature of Outlook Express, the address book of which Outlook 2000
IMO would use. OL 2000 IMO used a lot of OE for its work.

If you want to add contacts automatically when you reply to them, see this:

Are you serious? The vast majority of users you know want every sender
automatically added to their Contacts Folder without their permission?
Indeed, you do live on a different planet. I would not use any email
software that would even permit such an option.

Russ -- I'm with you -- I *DO NOT* want every sender automatically added to
my contacts folder, but that is what is happening and our IT support folks
can't figure it out, or haven't taken the time to figure it out for me.

At any rate, I've been searching the internet for info on the issue on my own.

I do have MS Outlook 2003 (SP3, not Outlook Express, and addresses are
auto-magically appearing in my Contacts folder -- some are people I've sent
email to, or received email from, and some I'm not sure where they are coming
from because I haven't emailed them, or to my knowledge received any email
from them -- maybe they are other addressees on email that I've opened.

Do you have a solution that would help with this problem?

Thank you.

It's not outlook doing it. :) Do you have any add-ins installed? There are
several capture utilities available.
