Post subject: Can't find contacts from email Archived from groups: microsoft>public>outlook>contacts (more info?)
I am running Outlook 2003 SP3
I know this is a frequent question but I still can not solve it after
reading all I can find:
The problem appears when I try to add email addresses by clicking the To
button in the new email: Outlook answers "The address list can not be
displayed. The Contact folder associated with the address list could not be
opened"
The same thing goes for ditribution lists.
The Contact list looks OK, I can send email by marking a contact and using
Action/New message to contact.
I have checked the box "Show this as an email address book in filder list
under Properties. (opened in Folder List, right cllicking on Contacts)
File/Data File Management shows two files:
Archive Folders
Personal Folders

Those instructions work fine. Perhaps you left out a step. For example:
1. Did you remove the invalid reference to a Contacts Folder here: Tools >
E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address books >
Outlook Address Book > Change… >?
2. Did you configure the Address Book to display the valid Contacts Folder
by default?

1. When I open Tools > > E-mail accounts .... > Change… >
I find two Outlook Address Books, both called
Contacts: Personal Folders.
Should I remove one ofthem? As the only option is "Remove Folder", how do I
know which one?
2. I am sorry Russ, I am only a user of Oulook: How do I configure the
Address Book to display the valid Contacts Folder by default?

1. Just remove one. If you remove the wrong one you can add it back and
remove the other.
2. You can set which folder to display first in the Address Book: Tools >
Options...

Or remove both (or all) and add the correct contacts folders back.
