When you create a new e-mail message using the Windows Address Book, you cannot switch between the new e-mail message window and Outlook Express or any other e-mail message window that is open.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, send or save the e-mail message.
STATUS
This feature is by design. The Windows Address Book opens messages in such a way that you must send or save the message before you can change the focus to another message or to Outlook Express.
