I currently have about 700 contacts in my outlook database. All are active
and I cull the inactives regularily. I generally remember my contacts by
first name which is fine for those that have a user name in their systems
that is <firstname> <lastname>. What creates a huge issue for me is contacts
that have a user name that is <lastname> <firstname> or worse
(e-mail address removed).
I have all of my contacts files as <firstname><lastname> and their emails
are to display as <firstname><lastname> ([email protected]). That works fine
for outgoing mail but is there anyway for Outlook (Outlook 2002 SP1) to
identifiy the INCOMING email address and display it how I want it displayed
rather than how the person who is sending has it labelled? For example, I
have John Smith's email to display as John Smith([email protected]). But
if John Smith's user name is "Fundraising dept" (just happended to run into
this) his sent from shows up as his user name, which causes huge issues when
I search for emails from John later on. Its also a huge issue because Outlook
does not recognize my "Display as" if I reply to Johns message so when I
search for my response to his email I have trouble finding it because I have
to find it by looking for his user name, which I very seldon know.
Is there any way to get Outlook to recognize the incoming email address and
link it with MY "display as" name as opposed to the sender's user name? seems
to make sense but I cannot find a way to make it happen.
