I'm using Windows XP professional and Outlook 2003 SP2
Some of my contacts have multiple emails, however only the first email in the field Email1 appear in the address book. So when I want to address an email to someone using their email2 or email3 address I have to go to contacts click on email2 and copy and paste the address to my new outgoing message. I've tried the following, create a new contact and enter all the info in fresh made certain the display as field is different for email 1 and email 2 nothing seems to help, my only solution so far has been to have duplicate contacts with email1 in the first one and email2 in email1 slot in the duplicate seems bizarre, why does outlook have multiple email slots if I can't use them |

This behavior cannot be reproduced. All valid email addresses appear in the
Outlook Address Book in every version of Outlook except IMO version of Outlook 2000. List the steps you used to produce this behavior. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "mjdon67" wrote in message news ![]() I'm using Windows XP professional and Outlook 2003 SP2 Some of my contacts have multiple emails, however only the first email in the field Email1 appear in the address book.

I've tried multiple ways it happens each time. here are some examples
With an existing contact, I add an email under email2 A brand new contact, I fill out an email under email1 and email2 Importing a contact that has two emails. Taking an existing contact and deleting the email and repasting such that Outlook creates a new and different (again) display as name Basically no matter how you slice it, I have a contact with 2 email addresses, each email has a unique display as name. Ok with that clear on to the next step. No matter how I try I can't pick email2, I have tried the following From Outlook inbox, click on the icon tool bar that represents the address book, navigate to CONTACTS and look for the email2 address, it is not there, only the email1 address is listed. From composing a new email, click on the TO box to chose emails, only the email1 address is listed and the email2 addresses are not there. From the Tool bar, click on TOOLS, click on ADDRESS BOOK only the email1 address is listed and the email2 addresses are not there. Basically the address book is acting like it doesn't realize email2 exists. Thanks for any help you can provide "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: This behavior cannot be reproduced.

No one else has this problem, nor have I ever seen it reported.
Was this an upgraded installation?

I agree very bizarre. At my last firm this was not an issue, outlook
properly showed both email addresses. I did notice Outlook was SP1, I have since upgraded it to SP2 and rebooted. I will attempt your suggestions tomorrow and reply again. Thank you so very much. by the way, I don't recall Outlook showing the fax numbers at all in the Address book, I wonder if somehow the address book is suppressing everything except Email1?

Every correctly functioning Outlook Address Book Service I've ever seen has
shown all electronic addresses: Email 1-3, Fax, Mobile, Pager, etc. As we all know only too well, it cannot be configured otherwise. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "mjdon67" wrote in message ...

My IT department is a bit nervous to try this approach, they will fiddle with
it over the weekend. They told me they don't have/use Microsoft Exchange server or something like that. Whatever lower/smaller verion we are using seems to be sufficient to not warrant the additional cost of that feature/upgrade. After the weekend's investigation we will revisit. thank you again.

Removing and re-adding the Outlook Address Book Service risks nothing. No
data is touched. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "mjdon67" wrote in message ... My IT department is a bit nervous to try this approach, they will fiddle with it over the weekend.

This is a known issue. There is a preference setting but I don't recall
where it is. Search your settings and it is burried somewhere you think it would not be put. Sorry not more helpful.
