The solution is to go back through each folder and Categorise them. Then
amalgamate the folders so you have a single Contacts Folder, but numerous
Categories.

To Categorise every record in your existing folder, select all, right click
and set the Category eg in the Friends Folder, make them ALL Category
Friends. Then when you amalgamate folders, you can still send email just to
firends.

Ok, in the meanwhile I have tried the /resetnavpane commandswitch. It
did the job, great! Thanks.

So the only problem left is that I need to see all my contact items in
one single list (even if they are in separate folders). If anybody
knows a trick and could jump in, I would be really thankful.

Cheers,

I have organized my contacts into several folders. But sometimes,
I would wish to see all my contacts in one list. I know that there is
the field "All contact items", but it only allows you to search for
specific contacts and display them in one list. But I would like to
show all my contacts in a list. I have tried to enter a whitespace or
nothing in the search field in order to achieve this, but it does not
work. Is there another possibilty.
