Contacts in Archive Folder (XP)

Topic

New Reply

I use the activity tab in contacts to find messages to/from people, and today I copied my contacts into my Archive folder, hoping to find a message in there. Outlook allowed me to copy, but the Archive folder did not work. I got an error message regarding the settings – stating that No folders were Defined. How would I define the folders to make this work?

right click on the folder, choose properties. add the folders you want to search to the activities list. Note that it uses message id’s and copying creates new messages, so you may not get any results. You would need to move the contacts. I forget if you can add the archive folder to the default contacts – probably not since it’s in a different folder and outlook can’t search two folders at once.
