SYMPTOMS

When you view a group in the Address Book in Outlook Express 5, some members may not be displayed.

CAUSE

This issue can occur if group members were added by using the Name and E-mail boxes.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, either:

Add the member to the Address Book, and then add the member to the group. -or-
Click New Contact in the group properties to add the member. This adds the member to the group and the Address Book simultaneously.

MORE INFORMATION

You can add a member to a group three ways: select someone from your Address Book, add a new contact for the group and your Address Book, or add a member to the group but not to your Address Book. When you add a member to the group but not to your Address Book, the member is only linked to the group. Members who are linked to a group can only be viewed in the properties of the specific group.
