E-mail.
Works for the rest of the world. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Greybeard" wrote in message ... Starting with the Phone List view of Contacts I clicked on Customize Current View. In the Select available fields from: drop down list I selected E-mail fields. From the list shown I Added the following: E-mail 2 E-mail 3 Email Address Type E-mail Display As Email2 Address Type Email2 Display As Email3 Address Type Email3 Display As IM Address Then I ran out of choices related to E-mail. So I clicked OK twice and got back to the Phone List view which now had all the new headers above their respective columns. The E-mail column still shows Last name, First name and the Email Address Type column shows SMTP for most lines. ALL the other fields are blank. Can you tell me where I can find the field to add that will show the real E-mail address? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Nothing is hard for me.

I am sorry this is so hard for you but I am in the Phone list view to which I HAVE ADDED THE E-MAIL FIELD. As I have said it does not show the E-mail address.

You have yet to state to which view of your Contacts Folder you are referring and how you customized it. I don't see why you can't just add whatever field you want to that view. There is no reason you can't add the Email field to that view. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Greybeard" wrote in message ... When I open Outlook 2003 I see a screen with my folders listed down the left side of the screen. Below the folders are tabs/buttons for Calender, Contacts, etc. When I click on the Contact tab a view opens on the right side titled "Contacts" which is a table with columns labled with fields that are part of the total contact entry. I selected four of these to be shown on my screen: File As, E-mail, Company, and Full Name. I did not select any of the other choices for now such as phone or fax numbers, address, assistant, etc. all fields within the total possibilities of each contact entry. The first column is called File As and it shows the File As entry from the contact. I have chosen to show this in the Last, First format. The second column is called "E-mail" which I would like to show the actual E-mail address entry from the contact. But in my case for almost all lines in the table also shows the name in Last, First format. Third is Company which shows the company entry if I have entered one. Forth column is Full Name which also shows Last, First. If I double click on any line I open the full contact entry. On the right top of that sreen is a field labled "E-mail" which contains the actual address of the contact. Why does this actual e-main address not show in the table that lists all the Contacts I have? You mentioned the Address Book which opens with my contacts when I click on the To: or Cc: fields in a mail note I am trying to send. The address book shows name as Last, First and then it shows what will appear in the note's address field which is: Last, First(Last, First). A very few entries show: Last, ). I would like for all the entries in the Address Book to show the latter form and for that to show up on the actual note when sent. The mail that I do send does go to the correct address but I would like to see it before I select the person named. Does this help you to understand what I see on my computer with Microsoft Outlook 2003? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: No such view appears in any version of Outlook when you click on Contacts. Are you perhaps referring to the address book view?

In Outlook 2003 when I click on Contacts a list appears with the columns: File As, E-mail, Company, and Full Name. I arranged this view. File As shows the name in Last, First format. So does the Full Name column. For almost all of the entries in the E-mail column the name (Last, First) also shows, not the E-mail address which is on the contact entry. A few entries show the E-mail address. How do I make all the lines show the address? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: No one knows to what view you are referring.

I have some contacts with multiple addresses and I would like to see the E-mail address next to the File As field when I open Contacts. I have arranged the "E-mail" column next to "File As" but in almost all cases it shows the same name as in the File AS field. The E-mail address is properly entered on the contact card.

No Brian, it works for new entries. They show the actual E-mail address.
Most of my entries come from the contact list I exported from Windows Mail that came with this machine. Due to its many limitations compared to Outlook Express I got Outlook and installed it. I got the mail file transferred after a few tries and the contacts seemed to go smoothly. Until that is I tried to set up a list view of my contacts and found that the E-mail field did not show the e-mail address. Nor does it show the e-mail address in any other view. (Now that I have figured out what a view is.) If my situation is different from everyone else I still would not like to have to reenter all my contacts to get the e-mail address to show. Is there any other way to correct the situation? "Brian Tillman" wrote: Greybeard wrote: I am sorry this is so hard for you but I am in the Phone list view to which I HAVE ADDED THE E-MAIL FIELD. As I have said it does not show the E-mail address. Does for me. Nor does the Address Card view or the Detailed Address Card view or any other view to which "E-mail" is added. If there is a value in the E-mail field, the Address Card views should show them. Even if the addresses aren't resolved, the Address Card views both show the values in the E-mail field. So I ask again, Why does the E-mail field on any view of Contacts not show the E-mail address that is clearly in the Contact? Does this happen even if you create a new contact record from scratch? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Just an observation but it seems highly unusual that the "Email Display As"
field is blank (automatically filled in by Outlook under normal circumstances) so would the following be correct? Issue only occurs for contacts where the EDA is blank which if I followed everything correctly relate to the records that were imported? If true, then further begs the question - "what exact email fields were imported?" (usually only need to import the email address itself and leave everything else alone unless there was a real specific (and good) reason for including E-Type and EDA).

How did you do this exporting and why would you? Outlook is perfectly capable of importing contacts directly from WIndows Mail with little or no loss of information. Personally, I'd empty the contacts folder and transfer them again correctly. The problem may be how you transferred them from OE to Windows Mail or from Windows Mail to Outlook, but there isn't enough detail in the thread to decide, considering this seems to be the first time you mentioned "import" at all. Importing always adds "flavor" to a problem. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Brian, you were right, something happened in the two transfers, first from my
old machine with Outlook Express on XP to my new machine with Vista (ugh) and Windows Mail (also ugh) and then from Win Mail to Outlook. So after I got back from having the dermatologist cut a bad spot out of my arm yesterday I went back to Outlook Express and got a clean copy of the address book and it displays just fine. Now I am working on getting the rest of Outlook tuned to my preferrences. I am so old that I miss having a manual so I may go buy one. Thanks for the help.

If you have a retail copy, it's legal to remove it from one machine and install on another. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
