SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade to Outlook 2002 and you import your Personal Address Book (PAB) addresses, the E-mail field displays a First Name and a Last Name in the Detailed Address Cards view. The names are not separated by a space.

For instance, if you import a Personal Address Book address for John Doe, the name in the E-mail field appears as JohnDoe.

NOTE: This only occurs for X.400 and X.500 address types.

WORKAROUND

  1. In the Contacts folder, double click to open the Contact that is not displayed correctly.
  2. In the Contact, double click the underlined (resolved) e-mail address in the E-mail field.
  3. Edit the Display Name field to include a space between the first and last names, and then click OK.
  4. Click Save and Close, and the Contact displays correctly.
