I am using Outlook 14.4.2 with Exchange. For a long time I am trying to delete an old category name called My Contacts. This category seems to be from old Pre-iSync workflow. When I remove the category from the preference settings it comes back a couple of seconds later. I've search for that category term within outlook however I am unable to find it. It's no longer attached to any vCard contacts.
Thanks for your help.
I am unable to send out an email by typing in the Category name.
Also the + plus sign to expand the email list inside the TO: box does not work.
Help!
Update: I found some advice to Sign Out of my Windows Live Mail account, and then Sign In again (which required my email password). This appears to have restored by Category mailing function.
> What would be nice to know is why Signing Out and Signing In clears this. Maybe the Help Desk could elaborate.
I have several Contact Categories containing groups of people I like to send
messages to. I used to be able to highlight that Category and click in the
BCC area and they entered as +that category name. For some reason that's not
working anymore. I can click on the BCC which opens my contact list and
highlight a category and it places it in the BCC area when I choose that.
It shows like "+madeupname". After sending the message to myself and to
the group as BCC I check the Sent folder and check the message to insure
those contacts show in the BCC area. Nothing is there. So I tried putting
nothing in the To: area and only the Category name in the BCC box. It said
it can't send a message because nothing is listed in To:..CC:....or Bcc.
My email sends and receives OK with individual email addresses. My problem is that category does not work. If I copy and past contacts into a NEW category, it will work, but when I get out of mail and back in again later the same new category will not work to send mail to all the addresses contained.
