Default Delete Contacts

Hello,

I created a new contacts "folder" in my exchange mailbox and need to delete
the old (default) one, but the appropriate button is greyed out. My question
is how I can bypass that and how I can make the new folder the default for
all uses in outlook. I created a new folder because I was unable to rename
the old folder (same reason: button greyed out). So if somebody knows how I
can rename the default folder, my problem was solved, too.

Regards,
Christoph Kling

You can't delete default folders.

Not possible.

I created a new folder
because I was unable to rename the old folder (same reason: button
greyed out). So if somebody knows how I can rename the default
folder, my problem was solved, too.


You can't do that, either. State you goal and maybe someone will be able to
suggest an alternative approach.
