How do I manually add email addresses in Outlook 2003?

[Guest]

Outlook 2003 came with my new computer. I'm having a problem adding email
addresses manually. I get an error message saying that I can't create
addresses for my Outlook address book. I created a "personal address book"
but when I try to add an address (manually), it asks me for "email type" and
there is no explanation in "Help" about this field. I've used earlier
versions of Outlook & this is very frustrating. I've created entries in
"Contacts" but those email addresses do not automatically populate the email
address line.

There is no address book in Outlook. You add entries to your Contacts
Folder. The Outlook Address Book is simply a view of your Contacts. Outlook
has not used a PAB for many years.
