Address Books


Outlook stores contact information from different sources in separate address books. Some
are created by Outlook, some by your e-mail server administrator, and others by you.

Contacts and Suggested Contacts Address Books
Outlook automatically creates a Contacts address book and a Suggested Contacts address
book for each account you connect to. These address books are available from the My
Contacts list in the Navigation Pane of the Contacts module.

The default Navigation Pane of the Contacts module.

The Contacts address book of your default e-mail account is your main address book,
and it is the address book that appears by default in the Contacts module. The Contacts
address book is empty until you add contact records to it.
If you correspond with someone who isn’t already in your Contacts address book, Outlook
automatically adds that person to the Suggested Contacts address book. You can work
with the contact information saved in this address book, or you can move the information
from the Suggested Contacts address book to create an official contact record for that
person in a different address book.
Tip If you have an Outlook Mobile Service account, Outlook automatically creates a Mobile
Address Book containing all the contacts in your Contacts address book for whom mobile
phone numbers are listed. For more information, refer to Microsoft Outlook 2010 and Office
Communications Server Inside Out by Jim Boyce (Microsoft Press, 2010).
