Outlook 2003 contacts

[pontifex]

in addtion to my main Contacts list folder, I have subfolders with separate lists. My main contacts folder contains contacts from my company. The sub folders contain personal contacts, contacts from other companies, etc.

In Outlook 2000, when I create a new email message and then click the To: button, it allowed me to select from any of those contacts folders. Outlook 2003 only allows me to select from the main Contacts folder.

how do I make it show all the folders?

view folder list / right click properties of the subfolder and select the outlook address book tab and tick :

"Show this folder as and e-mail address book"

That may be true, but doesn't that normally happen automatically? What I see with Outlook 2003 is that any Contacts folder containing contacts with email addresses appears when selecting an addressee. And, I did not use your procedure to make it do that, IIRC.
