Addressbook question

[Julia]

Hi

I recently shared my Outlook address book with OE using the registry change
"UseOutlook".

I have found that contacts added thereafter are not being delivered to my
Inbox (in Outlook Express).

Can you please advise me, and possibly let me know a solution to fix.

Thanks again in advance for your assistance.
Julia

Wouldn't they show up in the OE's Address Book (WAB.EXE) and not OE's Inbox?

 

[Julia]

The contact does show up in OE's addressbook but does NOT show up in OE's
Inbox....

Thanks again..

Why would a contact show in the Inbox? Only mail items show up there, as far
as I know.

I thought that if I had a contact in my addressbook, they automatically go
in my Inbox....?

Also, ...in OE, I have the option 'automatically people I reply to in my
addressbook' so this is why I thought when I get a reply from them, it would
go into my Inbox..

Thanks.

You were talking about contacts going to your inbox, not messages from your
contacts. That's what confused people. Outlook doesn't have the ability to
automatically add people to whom you reply to your contacts. You can write
VBA code, though. See

I am refering to Outlook Express having the ability to automatically add
people to who I reply to, to my addressbook, and therefore I am expecting
the contact who has been added to the addressbook, to subsquently appear in
my Inbox. Sorry.. I'm sure I was refering to Outlook Express..

Thanks.

But this is an Outlook newsgroup, not an Outlook Express newsgroup.
