email addresses not available when creating a new message
My hard drive recently crashed and a new one installed. I had been fortunate
that prior to the crash I copied my address book in contacts to a pst file. I successfully imported the pst file and the contacts appear as they should under the contacts tab of outlook. The way that I have these organized is I have four different contact files. I had thought of them as folders. Prior to the crash, I could create a new email, hit the "TO" button, select the address book that contained the email and send the email without a problem. Now, I hit the "TO" button and only one of the address books displays, the one titled "Contacts". I tried to "FIND" a contact in the other books without success. Is there anything I can do to get these other books to display - without having to recreate all the addresses? Thanks in advance for any help. Brian

Right click each Contacts folder and click Properties | Address Book tab |
tick the box to "show as an Outlook address book" If you cannot tick the box (it may be greyed out), have a read of Russ Valentine's almost daily posted instructions on how to fix your Contacts after you incorrectly move Outlook data.
