addresses not found in contact folder

wrote: Removing and reinstalling Outlook won't help a bit. You'll still be left with the same Outlook profile. To create a new "profile" in IMO, quit Outlook, export then delete this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings Restart Outlook. It will create a new profile automatically. It will have a brand new PST file as its default. You can then open your other data file, copy what you need from it, then close it. I'm returning after a short illness, sorry for the delay. The above steps did not resolve the problem :-( I did get a new profile, at least my contact folder and inbox were empty when I restarted Outlook98. I manually added one entry to the contact folder and then tried to compose a new email message using the name for that contact in the to: box and still no autofind of the email address. I did find that there was one name I could put in the to: box and upon exiting that field it would get underlined. That name is the single name I have in an instance of Outlook Express address book I have on this machine and it seems to be in a address book "Main Identities Contacts". John Keith |

Your thread is long dead. So is your Outlook version. You'll need to clue us
in on what your original issue was. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John Keith" wrote in message ...

wrote: Your thread is long dead. Sorry, like I said I was incapacitated for a while. So is your Outlook version. Yes, OL98 still works (or it did) for what functionality I use and since I can't afford to upgrade it has been my solution. You'll need to clue us in on what your original issue was. Here's the short rundown. First problem started when OL98 would freeze whenever I selected the calendar folder. The following url seemed to describe my situation exactly: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1810640.php however I could never successfully implement the suggested solution. To solve this problem I reinstalled OL98 and then, given my infrequent need to do this level of operation, I imported my pst rather than opening it. The calendar fucntion was working again but the current problem is that when I compose an email message I can no longer type a name in the to: box and have the correct email address found for that name in my contact folder. When expanding the to: box none of my contacts are listed (from shared contacts). In this mode I can select "Main Identities Contacts" and see one name from an address book I have with Outlook express on this same machine. Also, my "signature" is not automatically added to the message body when I start a new message. Your suggestion from March 5 was to delete a key in the registry which would force OL98 to begin a new profile when it was reopened. That was the process I just tried today without success. BTW, thanks for responding after my brief illness. John Keith |

Please state which mail support mode of Outlook 98 you are using. The KB
article you cite may not apply. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John Keith" wrote in message ... On Sun, 18 Mar 2007 20:16:59 -0400, "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Your thread is long dead.

The url I referenced was only for historical perspective, the problem with the calendar freezing is gone, but the problem with not being able to enter a name in the to: box and not have the name matched with an email address from the contact folder remains.

I see. Yes I remember this thread now. So at what point in this process are
you now? Did you create a new profile with a new PST? Do you have only one PST file in this profile? What happens when you try to resolve a name in the To: field? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John Keith" wrote in message ...

Try this. Exit Outlook completely. Now open Outlook Express and open its
address book. Go to Tools Options. If sharing is not enabled, enable it. If it is enabled, disable it, restart OE, then enable it again. Exit OE. Start Outlook. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John Keith" wrote in message ... On Mon, 19 Mar 2007 06:28:23 -0400, "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: I see. Yes I remember this thread now.
