    Outlook 2003, SP3. Messages Imported from Outlook Express 6.0

    I have the regular "Contacts" folder, and I created another one, which is "Personal Contacts ".

    [​IMG]

    And I made their name "Outlook Contacts" and "Outlook Personal Contacts" to easily identify them when I am sending e-mail, the reason I did this, when I am sending e-mail there are two "Contacts" and two "Personal Contacts ".

    [​IMG]

    My question is, where are these two other contacts? I want to get rid of them, but I can't find them anywhere on my Outlook.

    [​IMG]

    To test, If I go to my personal folders with the ones I have, and un-check "Show This Folder as an e-mail address book" they will disappear, as expected, but I want to disable the other two, which I have NO CLUE where they are coming from. :(

    Please help.
    Thanks!

    I'm a little short on time - but Outlook uses Contacts and an Address book...

    You can probably look in the help file for the difference between the two.

    Thanks, although I found out about that, I just cannot find where it is stored, so I can just remove/edit the contacts in it or get rid of it completely.
    I took a look at WAB viewer/address book in my Outlook Express and WIN XP, and those are completely blank.

    Hi Steve,
    were you able to take a look at this problem? Anything you can suggest?
    On the address book add/remove, I noticed there are 4 different ones, and it should be two. What is the source of these address books, it is like twilight zone! :(

    Steve, when I uncheck, they do not show as address book.
    But the funny thing is, I want them to show as those are my primary address books (contact folders). I actually need to uncheck those that do not have "Outlook ...." prefix, as those appear out of nowhere.
