When I create a new email message and click the “to” button it only brings up the global contacts etc which I assume all come from the exchange server. There is no option to send to any of the contacts I have stored within in Outlooks “contacts”.



I’ve had a quick search on Google and it seems to suggest that you need to enable the contacts to be used as an address book but when I try this I the box is greyed out and you cant tick it!


Screen shots incase you dont have a clue what Im talking about above!

There should be a contacts option here under public folders?

Thanks for any help
 
The method below will sort you out - it something that has happened to many many people at work but I couldn't be bothered to write it out so I just googled it and copied it :) ......

Tools>E-Mail accounts>Add new Directory or Address book> Click on Additional Address Books> Chose Outlook Address book> (Then it will tell you to exit outlook and restart outlook>

Then you could right click on contacts > Go To Properties > Click on Outlook Address Book (now these options are no longer grayed out) Put your checkmark in Show this folder as an outlook E-Mail address book. and then Click OK.

Now you have access to your contacts list when writing a new mail message.
