No version of Outlook has ever had that feature. It's unique to Outlook Express, which is a completely different program.

In an earlier version of Outlook Express it was possible to have a window
open displaying contacts. Mine was in the bottom left and was not too wide
but I could scroll through it and send a new email by double clicking on a
name. This brought up a new message window.

Any help greatly appreciated.
