I hope that there's some way for auto-resolve to work with contacts who have
fax numbers as well as email addresses, especially in light of the fact that
fax numbers are not email addresses.

Thank in advance,

{*filter*}y stupid idea. Sombody said that Outlook 2000 had a different way of
handling fax addresses.

BTW having got to the "check names" box it is much too small, with no way of
maximizing, leaving no option but to scroll back and forth.

Sometimes I wonder if the design people actually use their finished product.
I suppose the answer has to be no................

Totally agree.

There are so many small but important things in OL XP which really annoys
me.  As you point out, why are all the important dialogue boxes to small
and not resizeable; why can't you use the mouse wheel in notes; why isn't
ctrl+arrow move the cursor one word to left or right (when pressing
ctrl+shift+arrow actually highlights one word to the left or right).

Personally I don't like the separation of send and accounts button either,
but that might work for some...

And when everything else is cust'able, why couldn't there be any way of
disabling the "treat fax-numbers as valid transport addresses"
functionality?  If you don't have any fax software installed there is no
need for using fax numbers as valid adresses.

In the same lane, why can't email 1 be defalut email address.  If I would
like to use another address I would just right click and choose the right
one.

Or better, you can (globally or individually) select which address (email
og fax) that should be defalut when writing a unique name, and then being
able to right click to choos another address.  Microfot, are you
listening.

One other serious problem I have is the way XP restrics the use of name
checking by limiting the search to the first entry in the first name
field, and the first entry in the last name field.

Hang on ;-D
-----------

This makes typing unique names more difficult; imagine i Guy called Thomas
Sotheby Jones.  This contact could have beenstored as:

First: Thomas
Middle: Sotheby
Last: Jones

Entering Sotheby and pressing ctrl+k would result in a message like "no
contact with that name stored".

The contact could also be stored as

First: Thomas Sotheby
Middle:
Last: Jones

Entering Sotheby and pressing ctrl+k in this case would neither return
anything.

A third way of storing the contact is

First: Thomas
Middle:
Last: Sotheby Jones

In the same way, entering Jones and pressing ctrl+k would not return any
result.

Trouble is where do they go from there?

Ho, hum.

Microsoft???!!!

I have seveal clients who will not migrate to the whole XP
package because their beta-testers said this problem
(feature??) makes OL2002 unusable.....
