Prev: Outlook is erasing my emails from my yahoo
Next: "one or more of the selected senders could not be added to your blocked senders list"
From: news on 3 May 2010 05:28 Initially, I had a p[roblem with addressing e mails as when I hit the "To:" button, I got an error saying that the address list was empty. Having researched this,I created a workaround for the problem but the underlying issue remains When I press my Address button and look at the "Show names from the:" dialogue,I get the following Outlook Address Book Contacts Contacts The second contacts in the list is the one that actually holds my contacts so I have now set it to be the address list that is shown/used first. I cannot find any way to remove the first Contacts entry. In the address book "Tools" option, I have removed it from the list used for sending mail but it still appears in the drop down list "Show this address list first" Although I can now address properly, is there any way to remove this second Contacts entry. I should add that I only have one contacts folder in the folder list. Peter

From: news on 3 May 2010 08:56 Thanks Russ,I had looked at that option but wasn't sure which to delete - you gave me the courage and fortunately I picked the right one!

It's no problem if you choose the wrong one. If that happens, just delete the other and add back the one you deleted. -- Russ Valentine <news(a)rogersfamily.uk.net> wrote in message news:sthtt5hj3hfevqhv9n8e5f7pobnnjdcrfs(a)4ax.com... > Thanks Russ,I had looked at that option but wasn't sure which to > delete - you gave me the courage and fortunately I picked the right > one! > > Peter > > > "Russ Valentine" <russval(a)mvps.org> wrote: > >>You can easily remove outdated references to Contacts Folders.
