Many of my contacts in my Outlook 2003 contacts folder have more than one
email address i.e., email 1 and email 2 in the contact card. I would like to
be able to have Outlook automatically populate the To: line of a new email
message with all of the associated email addresses within the email field for
a contact when I type their name in the To: line.

For example, Bob Smith's contact card has and
as email addresses. I want to type "bob smith" in the To line
and have Outlook automatically insert the two addresses.

I realize that I could create a distribution list for each contact that
includes the contact's multiple email addresses, but that would be too much
work so I don't want to go there.

Outlook does provide me with a choice of email addresses in situations where
more than one email address exists for a contact, but it doesn't let me pick
two email addresses at a time. Instead, I have to select each addresses
individually and this is time consuming.

Has anyone found a way to do this?
Thanks,

I don't believe this is possible.

You'd have to create a distribution list with all the addresses in it. Alternatively, select the contact in the Contacts folder, then choosing Actions | New Message to Contact.

I don't want to have to create distribution lists for a single contact with
multiple emails.

The tip for selecting the contact will work well when I only need to send to
one contact.

Thank you. This was helpful.

What about when you're trying to write to more than one contact? It
only populates the To: field with the primary email address. Is there
a way to change this?

Thanks,

You might consider using your Contacts Folder instead of the address book.
Actions New Message to Contact will use all the Contact's email addresses.

Yes, that does work. However, in this instance, I would like to send an email
to more than one contact and each of the contacts may have one or more email
addresses that I want to include.
