Two Contacts Folders in Outlook
OMG I hate Outlook so much I can't say. I was fiddling with my multiple contacts folder nightmare just now in Outlook and the problem I faced last time that I couldn't figure out was this...If I right-clicked on the Contacts folder on the left of my screen, the option to "Delete 'Contacts'" folder wasn't enabled. So, I couldn't delete it. And it had no contacts in it.
The other Contacts folder (which I'd renamed Contacts2) would allow me to delete it when I right-clicked on it, but it had all of my contacts on it. And there's no way (that I can figure) to export and import contacts.
So, I swear to God I'd kill Bill Gates if I could. I'd strangle him until his eyes popped out of his head for this and many other transgressions. But I'll never be in the same room with him I'm reasonably sure. So, just now, out of desperation, I tried something. I dragged a contact from Contacts2 to Contacts and it moved it. :) Then, I drug all of my contacts from Contacts2 to Contacts. Then I deleted my Contacts2 folder. Then, for my third contacts folder, I chose a different option which said "Remove from My Contacts". And now, believe it or not, I'm back to just one Contacts folder woohoo!
(Bill Gates I pray you drown in a lake as your mother runs up and down the shore, barking for help in vain.)

And yet, like a battered woman, you refuse to leave it...

one of my problems is that I use it at work. so, it seems to make sense to me to use it at home also. although, granted, at work, they're using exchange servers and they have a team of people keeping it running...
