I just found my hotmail address book totally changed. Can I have my old address book back?
We have selected the Outook for Mac 2001 to sync with Address Book through Sync Services. BUT, the Contact Information in Outlook 2011 for Mac IS NOT SYNCING with the Address Book. HELP!
On new Dell Inspiron 17R laptop with Windows 7 and MS Live mail installed, I am importing files from an old PC running Outlook Express 6 on Win XP.
I have successfully copied the old e-mail files (*.dbx) but cannot find how to import the Address Book (.wab file) into the Contacts file. Information I find on the web and on Microsoft refers to "Tools" tab or option which seems to have disappeared
in the latest version.
Please explain.
I was successful in copying the .wab file in Outlook Express so I could import into Windows Live address book. However, when I open Windows live and go to the bottom left corner, the address book option does not open or contain any choices for action such as "import". What is my problem ?
Thsnk you for any help you cvasn give me.
Almost every day everyone in my address book gets a virus email from me. How can I get rid of it?
There old mail addresses which pop-up automatically when I am typing the first letters (for instance typing du triggers immediately <Removed by moderator> which I don't want to see or read or address any Email)
How to clean up the memory of the past used mail addresses in order to have only that which are in my address book?
Thank you for any advise

How can I customise the contact address format. In the UK the initial part of the address may take several lines (e.g. house name, estate name, street name). It would be OK if you could multi-line e.g. the 1st field but you can't even do that (as the
Mac built-in address book allows). So I need to either add fields or multi-line fields before it can work
I was forced to urgently purchase this software because of price increases (i.e. beak MS changing their US$ to GB£ to 1=1 !!). And I have to say, Outlook is an embarrassment to MS. I seem to be spending ages reporting bug after bug on the feedback form,
but these are more of a nuisance and annoyance than stopping functionality. It is the lack of functionality (functionality that was often in Entourage) that is the main problem. It is marginally unworkable but as it could not even import my Apple Mail accounts
and messages that took a full day to do manually so I'm going to persevere. It's not like it's a just released product either I(where one has to be tolerant of "issues").
So help sorting out these things would be much appreciated as I have a lot invested (in terms on money and time).
(Latest Lion OS and updated Office 2011 as of 26 June 2012 on Macbook 13" with free RAM and 40% disk space free).
I have an iPhone, and it syncs with Address Book, and I have sync services turned on, but I can't seem to find a good way to sync Outlook on laptop and iMac, and Address Book. I continue to get data moving around to different fields, missing data, no
data, duplication, etc.
I also learned that if you manually enter contact info in Outlook, it won't get pushed back out. This is a problem in the sense that I have Outlook on my laptop and my 27" iMac at work, and this results in an inaccurate address book.
I don't understand why Microsoft and Apple can't come together to have a better way to sync address book data. Everyone I encounter seems to have an issue with this.
And speaking of Outlook, why is it that Microsoft had to try to reinvent the wheel in the layout / design of meeting notices? what's wrong with how Outlook 2010, or 2007 for that matter, work? I hate the fact that if I want to add people from my address
book i can't simply select TO or CC or BCC and my email addresses come up like they do for the Windows version. Instead, we have to move to the far right hand side, select the image of an address book which then takes you to Contacts Search, and then you
have to choose the correct drop down, etc. Who would design such an inefficient solution, particularly when 2010 was already out, and it works fine? Why take a completely different approach?
Most people using Office on a Mac do so because they have used or are using the Office on a Windows machine. Therefore, that's what they are used to.
Outlook 2011, for me, continues to be the single most frustrating, crappy Office product of all of them. And I'm not in the Apple vs Microsoft camp - I just want what works best. I use Office365, and all of the tools there too (SharePoint, Lync, etc.).
And I'm happy with them, for the most part.
BTW - I have tools like Contacts Cleaner, etc. But I'd rather get a fix for the problem to begin with, rather than a bandaid.
