Recently, I find a problem when I try to create a new mail. When I
click the button "To", in the select receipt window, I select "Main
Identity's contacts", nobody show up. but I can find contacts when I
click the find button.

Any help is appreaciate.

Contacts don't show up
 

How many contacts are in your Address Book? If you have more than 999, the
Contacts will appear to be empty.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your promptly reply. I am not sure the exactly number, but I
am sure not more than 200.

I can see a group under the "Main Identity's contacts" when I open my
address book but no contacts there.

How many contacts are in the group? Try opening your address book by using
the Start/Run line and type:
WAB /a
That will open the address book so that all identies contacts are visible.
Then open the group and see how many contacts are listed there. For more
info about the Windows Address Book, see this link:

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your response.

There are only 3 people in the group. I have tried the WAB command,
still can't not see the contact list.

But I think all the contacts should be in the address book because when
I try to add one of my friend into the address book, the system told me
that he has already in the addressbook.
