Address book in Outlook 2000 with several profiles

[Mattias Berglund]

Me and my wife uses the same logon on our home computer but both want to use
Outlook 2000 with different accounts. This works excellent after setting up
Outlook with two different profiles to choose from when starting Outlook.

Problem being: After changing to using multiple profiles, the way the address
book works also changed. I only use POP3 and the Outlook address book
without any exchange server. Now if I have a contact with multiple e-mail
addresses in my Contacts list I can never be sure which address will be
used.

Example:
New mail -> To:-field -> write "Adam" -> Ctrl-K -> gives me list of "Adam
Smith (e-mail)", "Adam Smith (e-mail2)" and "Adam Smith (fax)".

What I would want is something like "Adam Smith ([email protected])", "Adam
Smith ([email protected])" and "Adam Smith (fax: 555-1234)".

How can this be accomplished? Suggestions on other ways of solving the
problem are of course also greatly appreciated!

It can't be accomplished, but doesn't autoresolution remember the name after
you've resolved it once?

Not quite sure what you mean by autoresolution (runnng this on a swedish W2k
SP4, Office SP1 system). Could you give a description? Is it something I can
on/off by configuring?

It would be ok to see the displayed address as "Adam Smith ([email protected])"
or simply "(e-mail address removed)". Today I get "Adam Smith (e-mail2)" and this I
don't like since I don't know to what address the mail is being sent.

Outlook 2000 has a feature called auto-resolution. If you enter part of a
name or a nickname then tab out of the field (or hit Alt-K [Check Names]),
Outlook will attempt to resolve the name against your address book. If it
can't it'll red underline it and you can right click on the name to manually
resolve it. Once you've resolved a name, Outlook will save the resolution
for future use.
