New day, new Outlook problem.
My Contacts files have subfolders #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. All persons in each folder have valid email addresses. Subfolder 5 has three more subsubfolders of contacts. When I start an email either to a group or individually, I type the name of the person to whom I want the mail to go. Because of the link to these folders, OUTLOOK then underlines the name if it recognizes a match. In my lookup system, when I get into the Select Names dialog box, only folders #2, #3 and #5 appear for searching and name matching. I can try to “FIND” a person, but unless he or she is in folders 2, 3, and 5, they remain unfound even though they do exist in a folder in the Contact file. I have tried putting folder #1 as a subfolder of folder #2 and then doing a FIND and that does not work. Yet in the Select Names Dialog, I do not see how to force Outlook to add folders #1 and #4 as valid folders in which to look automatically for name matching. My only thoughts are questions:
1. Do contact folders need “cleaning out” once in a while to get rid of deadwood?
2. Is there a limit on contacts that can go into the folders that comprise the Contact folder?
Any other ideas?
