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.

Indeed, you do live on a different planet. I would not use any email
software that would even permit such an option.

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.

All versions of Outlook require the end user to add a sender or recipient

way.
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:
