Why does the E-mail field in Contacts not show E-mail addresses?

[Greybeard]

I have some contacts with multiple addresses and I would like to see the
E-mail address next to the File As field when I open Contacts. I have
arranged the "E-mail" column next to "File As" but in almost all cases it
shows the same name as in the File AS field. The E-mail address is properly
entered on the contact card. What am I doing wrong?
I am using Outlook 2003 on Vista

No one knows to what view you are referring. Accordingly, no one can answer
your question. You must post clearly and accurately if you seek help in
newsgroups because no one can read your mind.

I thought I was pretty clear. In Outlook 2003 when I click on Contacts a list
appears with the columns: File As, E-mail, Company, and Full Name. I arranged
this view.

File As shows the name in Last, First format. So does the Full Name column.

For almost all of the entries in the E-mail column the name (Last, First)
also shows, not the E-mail address which is on the contact entry. A few
entries show the E-mail address. How do I make all the lines show the E-mail
address?

Are you perhaps referring to the address book view? If so, then you need to
set your Email Display As field correctly for each Contact.

When I open Outlook 2003 I see a screen with my folders listed down the left
side of the screen. Below the folders are tabs/buttons for Calender,
Contacts, etc. When I click on the Contact tab a view opens on the right side
titled "Contacts" which is a table with columns labled with fields that are
part of the total contact entry. I selected four of these to be shown on my
screen: File As, E-mail, Company, and Full Name. I did not select any of the
other choices for now such as phone or fax numbers, address, assistant, etc.
all fields within the total possibilities of each contact entry.

The first column is called File As and it shows the File As entry from the
contact. I have chosen to show this in the Last, First format.

The second column is called "E-mail" which I would like to show the actual
E-mail address entry from the contact. But in my case for almost all lines in
the table also shows the name in Last, First format.

Third is Company which shows the company entry if I have entered one.

Forth column is Full Name which also shows Last, First.

If I double click on any line I open the full contact entry. On the right
top of that sreen is a field labled "E-mail" which contains the actual e-mail
address of the contact. Why does this actual e-main address not show in the
table that lists all the Contacts I have?

You mentioned the Address Book which opens with my contacts when I click on
the To: or Cc: fields in a mail note I am trying to send. The address book
shows name as Last, First and then it shows what will appear in the mail
note's address field which is:
Last, First(Last, First).
A very few entries show:
Last, First([email protected]).
I would like for all the entries in the Address Book to show the latter form
and for that to show up on the actual note when sent.

The mail that I do send does go to the correct address but I would like to
see it before I select the person named.

Does this help you to understand what I see on my computer with Microsoft
Outlook 2003?

Not really. You have yet to state to which view of your Contacts Folder you
are referring and how you customized it. I don't see why you can't just add
whatever field you want to that view. There is no reason you can't add the
Email field to that view.

Nothing is hard for me. You persist in providing no meaningful information
anyone could use to help you. Never, not even once did you mention until now
that you are using the Phone List view. How many times did I ask you for you
for that information? It seems to me that you have not added the correct
field to your view. If you think you have, provide convincing information to
that effect so that someone with more time and patience than I can help you.

Then I ran out of choices related to E-mail. So I clicked OK twice and got

Does for me.

If there is a value in the E-mail field, the Address Card views should show
them. Even if the addresses aren't resolved, the Address Card views both
show the values in the E-mail field.

So I ask again, Why does the E-mail field on any view of Contacts not

Does this happen even if you create a new contact record from scratch?

The mail that I do send does go to the correct address but I would
like
to
see it before I select the person named.

Does this help you to understand what I see on my computer with
Microsoft
Outlook 2003?

No such view appears in any version of Outlook when you click on
Contacts.
Are you perhaps referring to the address book view? If so, then you
need
to
set your Email Display As field correctly for each Contact.

I thought I was pretty clear. In Outlook 2003 when I click on
Contacts a
list
appears with the columns: File As, E-mail, Company, and Full
Name. I
arranged
this view.

File As shows the name in Last, First format. So does the Full
Name
column.

For almost all of the entries in the E-mail column the name
(Last,
First)
also shows, not the E-mail address which is on the contact entry.
A
few
entries show the E-mail address. How do I make all the lines show
the
E-mail
address?

I have some contacts with multiple addresses and I would like
to
see
the
E-mail address next to the File As field when I open Contacts.
I
have
arranged the "E-mail" column next to "File As" but in almost
all
cases
it
shows the same name as in the File AS field. The E-mail
address
is
properly
entered on the contact card. What am I doing wrong?

No Brian, it works for new entries. They show the actual E-mail address.

Most of my entries come from the contact list I exported from Windows Mail
that came with this machine. Due to its many limitations compared to Outlook
Express I got Outlook and installed it. I got the mail file transferred after
a few tries and the contacts seemed to go smoothly. Until that is I tried to
set up a list view of my contacts and found that the E-mail field did not
show the e-mail address. Nor does it show the e-mail address in any other
view. (Now that I have figured out what a view is.)

If my situation is different from everyone else I still would not like to
have to reenter all my contacts to get the e-mail address to show. Is there
any other way to correct the situation?

 

[Karl Timmermans]

Just an observation but it seems highly unusual that the "Email Display As"
field is blank (automatically filled in by Outlook under normal
circumstances) so would the following be correct?

Issue only occurs for contacts where the EDA is blank which if I followed
everything correctly relate to the records that were imported?

If true, then further begs the question - "what exact email <fields> were
imported?" (usually only need to import the email address itself and leave
everything else alone unless there was a real specific (and good) reason for
including E-Type and EDA).

Starting with the Phone List view of Contacts I clicked on Customize
Current
View.
In the Select available fields from: drop down list I selected E-mail
fields.
From the list shown I Added the following:
E-mail
E-mail 2
E-mail 3
Email Address Type
E-mail Display As
Email2 Address Type
Email2 Display As
Email3 Address Type
Email3 Display As
IM Address

Then I ran out of choices related to E-mail. So I clicked OK twice and got
back to the Phone List view which now had all the new headers above their
respective columns. The E-mail column still shows Last name, First name
and
the Email Address Type column shows SMTP for most lines. ALL the other
Email
fields are blank.

Can you tell me where I can find the field to add that will show the real
E-mail address?

Nothing is hard for me. You persist in providing no meaningful
information
anyone could use to help you. Never, not even once did you mention until
now
that you are using the Phone List view. How many times did I ask you for
you
for that information? It seems to me that you have not added the correct
field to your view. If you think you have, provide convincing information
to
that effect so that someone with more time and patience than I can help
you.

I am sorry this is so hard for you but I am in the Phone list view to
which
I
HAVE ADDED THE E-MAIL FIELD. As I have said it does not show the E-mail
address.

Nor does the Address Card view or the Detailed Address Card view or any
other view to which "E-mail" is added.

So I ask again, Why does the E-mail field on any view of Contacts not
show
the E-mail address that is clearly in the Contact?

:

Not really. You have yet to state to which view of your Contacts
Folder
you
are referring and how you customized it. I don't see why you can't
just
add
whatever field you want to that view. There is no reason you can't add
the
Email field to that view.

When I open Outlook 2003 I see a screen with my folders listed down
the
left
side of the screen. Below the folders are tabs/buttons for Calender,
Contacts, etc. When I click on the Contact tab a view opens on the
right
side
titled "Contacts" which is a table with columns labled with fields
that
are
part of the total contact entry. I selected four of these to be
shown
on
my
screen: File As, E-mail, Company, and Full Name. I did not select
any
of
the
other choices for now such as phone or fax numbers, address,
assistant,
etc.
all fields within the total possibilities of each contact entry.

The first column is called File As and it shows the File As entry
from
the
contact. I have chosen to show this in the Last, First format.

The second column is called "E-mail" which I would like to show the
actual
E-mail address entry from the contact. But in my case for almost all
lines
in
the table also shows the name in Last, First format.

Third is Company which shows the company entry if I have entered
one.

Forth column is Full Name which also shows Last, First.

If I double click on any line I open the full contact entry. On the
right
top of that sreen is a field labled "E-mail" which contains the
actual
e-mail
address of the contact. Why does this actual e-main address not show
in
the
table that lists all the Contacts I have?

You mentioned the Address Book which opens with my contacts when I
click
on
the To: or Cc: fields in a mail note I am trying to send. The
address
book
shows name as Last, First and then it shows what will appear in the
mail
note's address field which is:
Last, First(Last, First).
A very few entries show:
Last, First([email protected]).
I would like for all the entries in the Address Book to show the
latter
form
and for that to show up on the actual note when sent.

The mail that I do send does go to the correct address but I would
like
to
see it before I select the person named.

Does this help you to understand what I see on my computer with
Microsoft

No Brian, it works for new entries. They show the actual E-mail
address.

Most of my entries come from the contact list I exported from Windows
Mail that came with this machine.

How did you do this exporting and why would you? Outlook is perfectly
capable of importing contacts directly from WIndows Mail with little or no
loss of information.

Personally, I'd empty the contacts folder and transfer them again correctly.
The problem may be how you transferred them from OE to Windows Mail or from
Windows Mail to Outlook, but there isn't enough detail in the thread to
decide, considering this seems to be the first time you mentioned "import"
at all. Importing always adds "flavor" to a problem.

 

[Greybeard]

Brian, you were right, something happened in the two transfers, first from my
old machine with Outlook Express on XP to my new machine with Vista (ugh) and
Windows Mail (also ugh) and then from Win Mail to Outlook. So after I got
back from having the dermatologist cut a bad spot out of my arm yesterday I
went back to Outlook Express and got a clean copy of the address book and it
displays just fine.

Now I am working on getting the rest of Outlook tuned to my preferrences. I
am so old that I miss having a manual so I may go buy one.

Thanks for the help.

 

[Brian Tillman]

Brian, you were right, something happened in the two transfers, first
from my old machine with Outlook Express on XP to my new machine with
Vista (ugh) and Windows Mail (also ugh)

If you don't like Vista, why not install XP on the new machine? If you have
a retail copy, it's legal to remove it from one machine and install on
another.
