Have &nbsp;not had a chance. My apologies. I expect to have this done this week.

No rush. &nbsp;Was just just checking to make sure you were aware that your question had attracted a comment.

I have a client who still uses OE6 for his pop emails.<br />
For some reason SOME of the first names in his address book disappeared. That wouldn't be so bad except when he's looking for a family member he cannot tell which is which because of this problem.<br />
The first names still show up if we double click on a contact and look at the Display field. But the First Name field is now empty.<br />
Any idea how this might have happened? &nbsp;Or he would be happy if the address list were to show Display field rather than last name, first name, but I couldn't see how to change the columns. <br />
thanks.

Outlook Express address book, first names disappeared

Windows Live Mail is the successor to Outlook Express, a discontinued email and news client bundled with several versions of Microsoft Windows, from Windows 98 to Windows Server 2003, and available for Windows 95 and Mac OS 9. In Windows Vista, Outlook Express was superseded by Windows Mail, then again by Windows Live Mail as separate software. Outlook Express is a different application from Microsoft Outlook. Beginning with Windows Vista Microsoft included Windows Mail, based on large parts of Outlook Express source code.
