Missing Contacts in Global Address Book in Outlook:
Question:
User does not have contacts listed as a choice in “show names listed in” box when she clicks on To … Her contacts are here, we can see them when we click on Contacts in the Outlook bar, and she can right click and send…but we want to be able to use the To … button. How can we fix that?
Answer:
It sounds like you have to add the contact folder: Start>Control Panel>choose "classic view" and click on Mail> email accounts>add new address book>additional address books>outlook address book. From then on accept the defaults. Once completed it may take a few minutes to create. Close email client and reopen and look for the "contacts folder".
