Default Updating & moving to another contact list doesn't update email

But I want the old address, which is no longer valid removed. Do I have to
do that manually?

Nothing to fix. It adds the new email address just like you told it to.

That is right, but it works for almost all the fields, except the e-mail
field. Why is that and do you know how to fix it?

That is exactly what you told Outlook to do. Updating a Contact adds the
new
information. It does not replace the old information. You didn't tell
Outlook to replace the Contact.

Outlook 2003. It is Contacts. Moving it from my Contacts, to one of
my
attorney's contacts, by holding down the Ctrl. button and dragging the
Contact to the attorney's. It will pop up with a box for the duplicate
Contacts and I choose to update it, it will update, name, address,
phone
number, but puts the new email address as email2, and leaves the old
one
(if
changed).

from happening? Thanks.

You first: Outlook version? What's a "contact list" (since nothing in
Outlook has that name)? How are you moving it?
