This makes a lot of sense if you want to separate your workgroup or business contacts from personal contacts like friends or family members. Another idea is to create a separate folder for contacts that you don’t reach that often and leave the people that you converse with frequently in the main Contacts folder. In Outlook, the Address book will include the main Contacts folder and any other folders you might add. The contacts from it are being automatically fetched when you click the To box and start typing a button. In normal conditions, when you create a new contacts folder inside the Contacts Pane, the new folder will automatically be added to the address book. But that’s not always the case. Sometimes, you’ll see that some contact folders displayed in the Navigation Pane will not show inside the Address book. To help you resolve this issue, we have created a guide on enabling a contact folder as an address book. If you’re looking for a way to make some order in your contact lists, keep reading below.
