And you are right, I think.
But before I start, I need to add one point. I imported? these files
from O2003 to O2007. It was at that point I lost all my contacts in
Address Book.
I do, in fact, have 2 Contacts folder, one in my folder (if that is the
correct terminology) and one in my wife's. I enabled both as phone
books after every new profile creation (8-10 of them) and checked each
many times as I tried to troubleshoot. Once enabled, the "Show this
folder as an email address book" remained enabled for both although the
check box dimmed which I presume is normal. In every case, on checking
Address Book, neither Contact's folder showed any entries. Now they
both do.
'don't have resolved electronic addresses?" I have no idea what that means.
Just to re-emphasize my original point, I have no idea why what I did
worked and I do not claim to have found an undocumented fix for the
problem. My point was, for those who have the same problem and have
tried the same procedures, IF they have made the same mistakes I made,
this may be an easy way to resolve the problem. I am hoping this may
save time and aggravation for the posters and those who seem to always
be here answering questions every day.
