Dealing with Missing Contact Information in Outlook

Posted on

Outlook offers a variety of advanced features and one of its most popular ones is the ability to use the information from the Contacts Folder in the Outlook Address Book. This way, you can automatically select the recipients from your Contacts Folder, to send the mail to. At times though, when you have an email or a fax ready to be sent to a group of recipients, you may find to your surprise that the information from your Contacts Folder is not contained in the Outlook Address Book. Let us take a quick look at how to resolve this problem and also at ways to carry out a quick Outlook repair if the PST file is itself damaged.

 

Typically you are not able to find the information from the Contacts Folder in your Address Book because you need to first install the Outlook Address Book service and specify the Contacts Folder that you would like to use with the installed Outlook Address Book. Further, for each contact mentioned in the Contacts Folder, you can specify either an email address or fax number that is to be included along with the contact in the Address Book. You should bear in mind that if the contact does not have either an email address or a fax number then Outlook will not display this contact in the Address Book. It is therefore very important that if you want a contact included in the Outlook Address Book to facilitate sending email messages or fax messages, that you specify an email address or fax number for that contact.
