No Address Book!

[LinK]

I imported a .csv address book from Windows Live Mail and it appeared in
Outlook 2007 as contacts. So, when I create a new message and click on To:
it says No entries in this Address Book! The drop down menu indicates
Outlook Address Book and Contacts are availble under Outlook Address Book and
then I can select an email address.

How can I get my Contacts to also be my Address Book?

Thanks!

Importing rarely creates Contacts correctly. You either didn't map fields
correctly or Outlook failed to resolve the electronic addresses, so the
Contacts cannot appear in the address book view.
Are you certain you configured this folder as an email address book? If so,
open an Contact and see if it has a resolved electronic address.

Thanks for replying Russ. I opened a contact and don't see anything
indicating "resolved" ... I see a catd to the right with her name and email
address? Is my contact list doomed?
Thanks again,
LinK

Hi Russ, I've been trying to help myself and see how busy you've been. You
sure help a lot of people.

Thought I would post more information ...

By "resolved addresses," I think you mean when they appear as 'live' links
in Contacts. All of my email addresses are underlined (live links).

I right clicked on >Contacts folder, went to > Properties >Outlook Address
Book and the name of the address book is "Contacts" and "Show this folder as
an e-mail Address Book" is checked, however greyed-out.

It occured to me it might be a good idea to post the outcome of adding the
Outlook Address Book service. Unfortunately, there is no change.

When I have a new email composition window, I go to >To... and I don't have
an address book, the drop-down menu pick Contacts ... and everyone is there.

That's correct behaviour. Click the drop-down box and choose "Contacts"...

Neither does Outlook. Outlook's Address Book is simply a view of your

Thanks!

In an attempt to fix what wasn't broken, I added the Outlook Address Book
service. and now I have two instances one is marked differently with a (1)
The one without the (1) says (send from this account by default). Would it
be safe to delete one? If so, would you delete the one that has the (1)?
Thanks again,
LinK
