Deleting contacts
Hi,
I was having a clean out and thought I was deleting contacts when in fact I was just deleting them from my address book, which I now realise is an entirely separate thing. Is there a way I can quickly delete the contacts I want to get rid of without going through the process manually again? It would be handy to add a category to all my remaining contacts in the address book at once and then delete any contact not categorized, but that doesn't seem to be possible. Thank you Paul

Deleting contacts
Hi Paul,
the Outlook Addressbook is only a special kind of "view" (or a filter) to your Contact folder. Every contact with an email address or a faxnumber is listed in your Outlook Addressbook (if the contact folder is activated as "Outlook Addressbook") You can not "edit" the Outlook Addressbook with "Categories" or any other additional information.. If you want to delete Contacts and the listing in the Outlook Addressbook, you have to delete the contacts in the contacts folder, not in the Outlook Addressbook. -- Oliver Vukovics Share your Outlook PST files without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Synchronisation for Outlook and Exchange: Public SyncTool http://www.publicshareware.com schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
