Addressbook on same line as Reply ???

[Ritter197]

I just migrated from Outlook Express to Outlook 2000 and miss the
Addressbook on the same line as Reply, Reply to all etc. I had it there in
OE. How can I add that in Outlook 2000?

I looked under Help but found there no way to do that.

Also, is there a way to have under the common folders shown in Outlook also
the SENT folder shown?

Again, I had that in OE and liked it much better than now having to click on
Other Folders and then again click on Sent. Seems that the much simpler OE
had some things going for it that I miss in Outlook 2000.

But maybe someone has an answer to this.

I just looked at an Outlook 2000 installation. The Address Book button is
there, just before the Help search box toward the right side of the Standard
Tool Bar.

I do not see AddressBook next to Help.

Next to Help is Action and next to it is Tools. I have the Inbox of 2000
Outlook open while I am writing you this.

What am I missing?

The Tools menu has an Address Book command.

Next to Help

Thanks Sue. I found that there also, but - can it be shown as a Folder so I
do not always need to go to Tools first? Same as in Outlook Explorer?

No. The address book is not a folder. It displays the contents of one or
more contacts folders.

Bummer ! That was easier in OE then.

Can I make it a folder, even with manual work?

Repeating: "The address book ... displays the contents of one or more
contacts folders."

The data is already in your contacts folders.
