Default Why can't I send a message to someone in my Personal Address B

OK, I went to the link you included. I went thru all the steps in Part 2 and
Part 3. Now all of my addresses in the PAB are in the Contacts. But I am
still getting the email error message when I try to send a new message.

I am currently getting my email in Outlook via Army Knowledge Online. I
have
added email addresses to my Personal Address Book, as well as my Contacts
list.

When I try to compose a new message, the Contacts list doesn't come up,
just
the PAB. However, when I address a message to someone in the PAB, the
message will not be sent. I instantly get a message back that says the
email
could not be sent because " None of your e-mail accounts could send to
this
recipient."
What does this mean? How do I get the same listing of addresses in the
PAB
and Contacts? And how can I send a message to someone in my PAB?

Are you saying you completely migrated to using the Outlook Address Book?
If so then you have additional problems in configuring your mail accounts
for which you have not posted enough information for us to troubleshoot.
State Outlook version, mail account type, address type, steps used to send
messages, and exact error messages.

Default Why can't I send a message to someone in my Personal Address B

I am saying that I followed the instructions provided at the link you sent me
earlier. If that means I "completely migrated to using the Outlook Address
Book", then that is what I have done.
All I know for sure is that I am using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with
Business Contact Manager Update. I "get" my email from Army Knowledge Online
(meaning, I have an email account there, and I have set up an outlook account
so that the AKO mail is sent to my outlook....make sense?).
Currently if I want to send a message thru outlook, I have to either
physically type in the email address of the person I am sending the message
to, or reply to a message that I have already recieved from that person. I
cannot compose a new message and select addressees from my Contacts list and
send that email.....I get the error message that I mentioned earlier.
One of your counterparts mentioned yesterday that I might have configured
this outlook account incorrectly, but did not say how to fix it.
I have spoken with my peers who have done the same steps to configure their
outlook to retrieve mail from AKO, and they are not having these problems.
Any help you can provide is appreciated.

The instructions I posted have multiple scenarios. I have no idea which you
used.
That message indicates that you have not configured your mail account
correctly. Not sure how we can help you with that since only you have those
instructions.
Your mail account is not recognizing the addresses you are entering.

Default Why can't I send a message to someone in my Personal Address B

OK, When I clicked on the link that you sent me, I was given three Plans to
chose from....the website did not recommend Plan 1 (which was basically do
nothing). And Plan 3 ("Migrate the entire PAB") had me complete most of the
steps in Plan 2 ("Add new contacts to the Contacts folder and eventually
migrate the PAB").
Again, this is what I did. But I still cannot send a new message when
addressing it from the Contacts.
I can however send a "reply" to a message I have already recieved. Does
this have anything to do with the fact that the email is not actually being
delivered directly to my computer. What I mean is that I set up the outlook
account so that I could still access all of the email messages from another
computer (like at a library or something) by going to the Internet, then
logging onto Army Knowledge Online (AKO). That's really where the messages
are "stored"....although, I can manipulate them in outlook....

Read the last line of my post. I told you what it means. It means that the
address format in the message you are sending is not recognized by your mail
transport. Since we have no idea what that format is and what your
transport, we cannot help further.
