Address book import from OE6
 

Outlook 2003 (SP2)
Windows XP Home (SP2)
Dell P4 2.66 - 1GB Ram - 18GB free on hard drive

I have imported the address book from OE6 into Outlook and the import says
it's successful. I only have 12 addresses so the volume of information is
insignificant.

If I click on the "Contacts" tab in the Navigation Pane they're all there.
When I select "New" - "Mail Message" and click on the To: or CC: fields I
receive the "Select Names" window. It's completely empty! Even the "Show
names from the:" dropdown box is empty. There is nothing to drop down. Where
do I specify where to read addresses from?

Thank you!

Got it (I think)... I had to go into "Tools" - "Email Accounts" and "View or
change existing directories or address books" and add "Outlook Address
Book"... Why is Outlook so much harder to use than OE?? I've used OE for
years with no issues. I think Outlook could be a lot easier... Even so, I
paid for it so I'm going to use it!
