Display Contact Columns

My email view lets me customize the columns I display and includes fields for
the Contact (such as name, company, etc). But when I add those columns, they
are just blank and don't display anything even though the email has come from
one of my contacts. Is there something I need to do so that incoming email
is mapped to a contact and displays contact info?

Thanks,

Mike
 
While you can add any field to any view, you can only see something in the
field if the item type supports it. Email does not contain company and most
other contact information.

Bummer - that would be a nice feature - to link to the Contact's info.

Thanks for the response Diane. I can stop trying to make it work.

In the Preview Pane you may right click on the senders name and see or
select items to view or perform.
