I hope that I can explain this so it is clear. In my laptop I have three
separate contact lists. Lets call them Personal, X and Y. I just moved all
pst files from the laptop to my desktop and also have the same there now.
The problem is that when I set up to send an email in my desktop and then go
to the address field "To" the only list of addresses that will come up is
the Personal list, but not the X or Y list. How do I add these X and Y
lists to whatever to make them pop up as choices (where I can priortize my
choice of the list that shows by default) similar to that in my laptop?
Thanks

Did you enable these folders as email address books in their properties?
 
So simple when you know how - thank you very much!

One further question:
What determines the email addresses that pop up in the "to" or "cc" fields
when you type the first letter of the address? Do these only come up based
on usage as opposed to all from the respective address book? In my laptop
all addresses starting with the respective letter will come up as choices to
select so that it is a shortcut instead of clicking on "to" and going to the
address file and searching for the email address. In my desktop, where I
have only sent a few emails so far, all I see are those whom I have already
sent to. Just curious how that works.
Regards
Lewis
