That's quite an overreaction.
I understand this is new software for you, but your descriptions are too
vague and inaccurate for anyone even to read between the lines. There is
no
"Messages" view in Outlook for example. I would guess now that you really
meant "Mail" view, in which of course the Contacts Folder would not
appear.
Contacts are not Mail. Contacts will appear in the Contacts view. You
still
haven't clarified whether in fact you have managed to find your Contacts
Folder or not and whether it contains the information you imported. Once
that part is settled, perhaps we can then move on to where you seem to
think
"addresses are disappearing." I sincerely doubt your Contacts Folder is
disappearing as you posted.
You are quite correct that I used Folder List View incorrectly without
defining it for you. That's my fault and I'm sorry. In a nearly identical
thread in this group I had the poster to use Folder List View to find his
Contacts, and I thought that was this thread.
Trying to solve problems in newsgroups requires that you provide accurate
and detailed information. We simply can't guess at what you are thinking
or
doing, and we have had to so far.

No, the problem has been that you haven't been reading my posts
carefully. On at least three occasions, I note that you have asked me
for
information that was already provided.
In addition, you don't express yourself clearly. For example, in
your
2/20/07 post, you state, "I told you to use Folder View." I didn't
know
what
you meant by that, and didn't do it. But when Mr. Tillman's 2/20/07
post
explained the difference in the views, I understood immediately and
resolved
a part of the problem.
The underlying problem is your hostile and arrogant manner. For
example, it may be that I misperceived the situation. But is different
from
your assessment: "You claimed that you had no Contacts Folder when if
fact
you have had one all along." People not familiar with the software are
going
to misperceive things. It inheres in the situation, and you shouldn't
be
responding to posts unless you can accept that.
:
You really have made this impossible to solve I'm afraid by not
providing
accurate descriptions or answering any of our questions. You have not
conveyed from which view you seem to think addresses keep
disappearing.
Your
term of "address list" has no meaning to anyone but you. We can't know
what
you mean by that.
You claimed that you had no Contacts Folder when if fact you have had
one
all along. Are you saying that that data goes missing at random too?
Continuing to import from OE over and over seems like a pretty good
way
to
confuse the situation beyond recognition. Trying to solve problems in
a
newsgroup setting requires accurate information. Without it I'm afraid
we're
lost. Sorry.

You're right. I'm able to see the contacts folder by using the
folders
list
view. But the more substantive problem is that the data in the
folders
list
seems to disappear from time to time. It may be that, on those
occasions,
I
just can't see the data rather than having lost it. For example,
when
the
data appears to be lost, and I import it anew from Outlook Express,
and
then
the data reappears, I find that I have duplicate or triplicate
entries
in
the
address list.
:
The problem appears to be with my Navigation Pane. I created a
new
folder for contacts, but that folder doesn't appear in the
Navigation
Pane. (Nor does the Calendar folder.)
Which view of the Navigation Pane are you using? If you use the
Mail
view,
you won't see any non-mail folders, like Calendar or Contacts. If
you
select the Calendar view, you son't see any non-calendar folders.
Only
when
you choose the Folder List view, as Russ suggested, will you see
all
your
folders at once.
