Unable to add to local contacts from global address list. Error: "Some names could not be added to Contacts. The action could not be completed."

Trying again...

The listbox has the following description text:

When sending mail, check names using these address lists in the following order

I removed the Global Address List from this listbox, and then I could add the entries from the Global Adresses to my contacts.

Why would you want to add GAL members to your Contacts, when you already
have access to the GAL?
