You didn't need to think this was a snit or something, but the things you've mentioned don't seem to be a major factor for most people, at least not the ones I deal with across 80 companies. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.

The problem Russ and I refer to is when the folder is checked as an address book but the email addresses aren't "resolved" as electronic addresses so the imported contacts won't show in the address book while new contacts do show. Its not the most common problem with importing, but it does happen enough that we get asked about it a few times each month. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM Do you sync your mailbox with a smartphone or pda? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=39473 "Leythos" <spam999free(a)rrohio.com> wrote in message news:MPG.26206ff496e4feea98a262(a)us.news.astraweb.com... > In article <E5999A28-F759-4F4D-ACF1-A38E11FE92AB(a)microsoft.com>, > outlookmvp(a)msn.com says... >> >> 9.
