From: The Hun on 23 Apr 2010 12:03 OL 2002; Windows XP The new entries in Contacts are not appearing trying to address email. After clicking the TO button to get me to the directory of email addresses, new entries are not appearing and haven't been for a couple of months. There are 2,228 contacts. Does anyone know if OL 2002 has a maximum number of entries that Contacts can handle? If not, is there anything I can do with OL 2002 to fix this problem? Thanks,
From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 23 Apr 2010 15:46 There is not a maximum number of contacts (except with Hotmail and the Outlook Connector, but it doesn't work with Outlook 2002 - the Hotmail limit is 1000). Are you using more than one contacts folder? If you have more than one contacts folder, make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is the box to enable as email address book is checked? -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM New Poll: What type of email account is your main account? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=42402 "The Hun" <ed(a)LAocean.com> wrote in message news:6cd4dd7a-a267-49d8-b293-697265732d51(a)s21g2000pri.googlegroups.com... > OL 2002; Windows XP > > The new entries in Contacts are not appearing trying to address > email.

But maybe the problem is elsewhere. Earlier, I max'd out my pst file and had to create this new pst. The tech support person who did that for me ended up stumbling and had to try again. His 2nd and 3rd attempts left me with the following folder list now showing in my Folder List: #1 -- Personal Folders (this is the old file that max'd out) #2 -- Personal Folders (all folders in this file are empty) #3 -- Personal Folders 3-11-10 (unable to expand. ERROR message: "...could not be found") #4 -- Outlook Today - [Personal Folders 3-11-2010] (new pst file: folders in this file contain all new emails since 3-11-10) #5 -- Personal Folders 3-11-2010 (this set of folders is an exact and continual mirror of the new #4 pst file) I need to have continual access to email in the old file ( #1 ) and would like it to remain as is. I don't need file #2. I don't need file #3. I DO need file #4. This file has all my new emails. I don't know what would happen if I tried to delete file #5 because it's a continual mirror of #4. Can you help? The tech support person was really stumbling through this and was unsure of what he was doing. Thanks,
From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 25 Apr 2010 19:02 All things considered, I'd make a new profile and set it up to use the new pst as default and add the old pst to it. See http://www.slipstick.com/tutorials/profile/profile.htm for the steps. You could try to repair the profile and remove the ghosts if you want - see http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/ghosts.htm - if it fails, you'll need a new profile anyway, so nothing lost but your time. > I followed your directions and, yes, the Contacts folder is "checked" > to be an email Address Book.
