zceb90 Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 My email contacts are stored in the default 'Contacts' folder which displays at the top left column under sub heading 'My Contacts' in Outlook 2003. For some reason, when launching 'Address Book' or when picking from list of contacts when addressing a new message, an extra entry, also called 'Contacts' appears but containing no names. I could not find a way of getting rid of this 2nd entry but managed to rename it to 'Contacts1' in the address book (to avoid confusion) and then change the order in which address book called the contacts folders to enable the fully populated list to display by default.I ran a search on this problem and found a recommendation to try running mailbox repair for Outlook i.e. SCANPST. I ran this utility on my various .PST files and some errors were found and fixed. Unfortunately I'm still left with 2 x Contacts folders in my Address Book plus 2 x Contacts1 also. Again I've re-ordered the display to show the populated list first by default.Has anyone any suggestions as to how to get rid of the duplicate contacts folders appearing in the address book? I'd thought of trying to rename the Contacts Master Folder in the top left hand column of Outlook 2003 but this option is greyed out and thus denied by default.
