My Contacts Won’t Show up in Address Book When Sending an Email in Outlook
September 11, 2006
I get the question of why my doesn’t my outlook contacts show up when sending email quite a bit so I thought I would share the solution to all that are interested. Who knows, it might even save a call to your department tech person.
Anyway, here are the steps:
Within outlook, right mouse click on your contacts folder and select “properties”. Click on the “Outlook Address Book” tab and check the “Show this folder as an email Address Book” option. Your address book will then show up when sending emails.
There you go… Happy emailing

If this is grayed out…
Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or
address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn’t listed, add
it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close
then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it. Then follow the instructions above to show this contact folder as an address book.
If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you’ll
need to make a new profile as you can’t add the Outlook Address Book service
due to a bug.
