Personal Address book - right-clicking sender to add to PAB

[Guest]

I have recently upgraded from Outlook2000 to Outlook2003.
In OL2000, when I open a new email I could right-click the sender and select
"Add to Personal Address Book"
In OL2003, this feature is no longer available, the only option I see is
"Add to Outlook Contacts"
I connect to an Exchange5.5 server for email.
Does anyone known if this right-click "Add to PAB" option is available in
OL2003?
Thanks

Outlook has not used a PAB for years. That's why the option is gone.
Any reason you can't migrate to using Contact Folders like the rest of us?

You need to go into your account setup and add "Personal Address Book" to you
profile.

Thanks MikeMc, adding the PAB still doesn't add the right-click on an email
sender option of "Add to PAB".
I'm going to assume that MS has dropped PAB integrated support from all
Outlook versions newer that 2000.
I will just have my users use "Contacts" instead.

In the Outlok 2003 you need to go to the main menu:
-> Tools -> Options -> Other
And uncheck "Enable the Person Names Smart Tag" option.

Now you can right-click to Add anyone to your "Personal Address Book".

Not really. Outlook uses Contacts Folders, not PAB's.
