when I try to find a contact it returns nothing. However, the advanced find
returns it just fine. The contacts are in a public folder I copied the contacts to a PST and the search works fine. I copy some contacts into a new public folder and the find works fine. I copy all the contacts into a new PF and it finds nothing. Any ideas? |

Hello,
I have the same problem (described in thread "not able to search public contacts ...) I think its caused by one or more corrupted Contacts. Does anyone know a tool for verifying contacts?

Frank,
It works perfectly if If I copy all the contacts to a pst file and use the find. Coping it back to a new (and named differently) public folder does not solve the problem. That is why I do not think it is corruption. "Frank" wrote: Hello, I have the same problem (described in thread "not able to search public contacts ...)
