How can I synchonize contacts and address book?

[Don Young]

In my attempt to create an NEW DISTRIBUTION LIST, I accidentally deleted 1/2
of my address book. The one that comes up when you click on the TO BUTTON
to send new e-mail. The CONTACT list was not effected. How can I
synchonize them again.

The Outlook Address Book is a virtual view of your Contacts Folder. The contents of the OAB are simply anyone in your Contacts Folder who has an electronic address (email or fax) so there should be nothing to do to "sync" it. Why do you think it is not happening? And tell us the full story to explain to us why you think your contacts are intact but your OAB is not?
