No entries in Select Names drop down

**April12** · August 11th 09, 10:42 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.contacts

When I create a new e-mail and I click "To" to get the Select Names dialog
box, it is empty - however, if I go to Contacts they are all there. What am
I missing? Just reinstalled on a new computer.
Thanks

that list is not populated until you send new messages or replies. See
http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2009/20090212.htm for the method to
populate it with all addresses.
