I am having a similar problem usiing Outlook Contacts.
When I select a series of contacts (all contacts from within a particular category view, for example) and hit the email button, I get the correct email window with all the "E-mail" field contents within the "To" field. What I want to do is to send to all the email addresses for each contact. Can you help? -- Ian "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: PS From your description you are using the Windows Address Book, not the Outlook Address Book. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Gol4man" wrote in message ... I knew I could do that. My question centered on when I create a new email message and click on the TO button, my Contacts list opens (as it should). When I double click a contact, the default email address is the one used for the message. I wanted to know how to invoke the second or third email address without changing the default. I think I just figured it out. Start a new email message, click on the TO button and the Contacts list opens. Right click on the contact with multiple email addresses and, in the pop up window, select Action, then in the next pop up window select Send Mail To. The final pop-up window shows all of the email addresses stored for the contact. Select the one to use for this message. None of this is explained in the Outlook Help stuff. Thanks anyway for trying.

Outlook 2000 lets me enter up to 3 email addresses for each contact. The second and third are titled "E-mail 2" and "E-mail 3." However, there is no explanation as to how to use these additional email addresses. |

"Hit the email button?"
Clarify what you're doing. Include your Outlook version. Actions New Message to Contact will use all email addresses for each Contact. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Ian" wrote in message ...

I'm using Outlook 2002.
By "hit the email button" i mean the "New message to contact" icon on the Standard Toolbar. This is a very straight forward issue: How do we send an email to all the addresses we have for a contact (E-mail, E-mail 2, E-mail 3) automatically, rather than just the default "E-mail"?

Use the New Message to Contact option in the Actions menu. For every
installation I've ever seen, that will use all the electronic address fields a Contact has. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Ian" wrote in message ... I'm using Outlook 2002.

Thanks guys, but this only works when you have a SINGLE contact chosen. How
can I repeat this when I have more than one contact selected? Is there perhaps an option somewhere that I need to change?

That's just it - it doesn't use all the electronic adresses from the chosen
contacts; just the default 'E-mail' one! If it is supposed to act as you describe, it does not on my version - MS Outlook 2002 (10.6515.6735) SP3. Do I need a fix or is their an option somewhere that needs to be ticked? -- Ian "Brian Tillman" wrote: Ian wrote: Thanks guys, but this only works when you have a SINGLE contact chosen.

If one contact is highlighted, ActionsNew Message to Contact places all of the contact's addresses in the To field, but if more than one contact is selected, only the "E-mail" address is added. -- Brian Tillman |
