Default how do I add contact subfolders to my dropdown list in my send

Russ,
First off, “Great Question Jill!”
I have this same problem. I sub-folder my Contacts, just so I am not over
whelmed by the sizes of the individual folders combined.
My questions are "Does this work for all Outlooks from 2000 to 2003?"
“If I am receiving mail from Exchange, does it have to be set up with server
or just at the client level?”

Thanks already for a great answer, I know I can use at home.

email
to.

Armor, it's a client setting that works in all versions of Outlook. The Exchange server doesn't know and doesn't care what address lists the user is displaying in their address book.
