"new message to contact" does not exist !!
I'm sorry, Russ, I wanted to create a new topic, but couldn't then
figured out that I couldn't delete my first posting ... You told me that I should look in the "create" flyout. But for me, there is only "new task for contact" and "new journal entry for contact". I have searched this group extensively, but could only find those topics dealing with "DL from categories" where "new message to contact" is provided as a solution. But I am missing this in my "actions" menu. Thanks so much for your help! Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote: Already answered.

Any Outlook profile that has a valid mail transport will also have a "New
Message to Contact" option in that flyout when you have selected a valid Contact that has a resolved electronic address. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote in message ...

Thanks for helping!
Yes, I made sure that the contact has a correct email address (that's a resolved electronic address,no?). And I guess, I have a valid mail transport. How can I verify this? At least I can go into my mail folder and click on new message, and an empty message pops up. No problem in that respect. I will verify everything you tell me, but to me, it does not seem obvious why I can create a new email in my email folder, whereas in my contacts, I cannot "actionscreatenew message to contact" ! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Something is wrong with your profile. Everyone else has this option. Repair
your installation or reset your toolbar. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote in message ... Thanks for helping!

I did toolscustomizetoolbars and reset the toolbars "standard",
"advanced" and "menu bar". Without any change. It is still not there. Please note also, that when I go into toolscustomizecommands and choose the category "actions" I have a whole lot of commands there, but not "new message to contact". I have already re-installed Outlook. Same situation. I don't use Outlook as my mail client, I have another one, if that is of any importance. thanks for helping.

Then what is your question? If you don't use Outlook as your mail client,
why would you have or need a "New message to Contact" option? Why would you expect one? I already asked you if you used Outlook for your mail transport. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote in message ...

"new message to contact" does not exist !!
And I already replied to you regarding the mail transport. My answer
was: And I guess, I have a valid mail transport. How can I verify this? At least I can go into my mail folder and click on new message, and an empty message pops up. No problem in that respect. When asking how can I verify this, I didn't receive an answer. Sorry. I only said, that I normally use another mail client, as an information when chasing the error. But I didn't imply, that I don't need the mail functions of Outlook at all. In this case, for example, I need the "new message to contact" for the following reason: Conforming to what is often suggested by Outlook- MVPs, I avoid DL and rather stick to categories. So, if I want to write a mail to a category - instead of a DL - I sort by category, select a category and would then like to click on "new message to contact", as it is suggested a lot of times in this forum. There are also a couple of other reasons, why I'd need the "new message to contact" menu command. I would be very thankful, if you or someone else has an idea as to why "new message to contact" is missing. Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote: Then what is your question?
