Novax,

I have reviewed your post and can say with confidence this is not normal behavior for an exchange service.

Several things strike me as odd. First the "-" in front of a contact name and it having issues indexing properly might indicate a problem in your systems active directory. Since all synchronization starts on the client end, all contact information is uploaded to the server then synchronized to each program /device.

The second issue sounds like a routing issue. When you send to multiple recipients, any address listed in the "TO" field will be visable in the origanal header files. I'm unsure how to resolve your distribution list from showing all of the members associated with it, but you should be able to place the DL into the CC field.



I would start by checking with your provider. Do they have a support staff to help resolve these issues?

Keep me posted.

Thankyou for your reply SpiderTech,
The bottom issue has been resolved aka the issues with having all of our staff being seen in every email we send,

we are still sadly, having issues with the contact list, I will let you know that it is my Boss's computer and not my own. I am just trying to fix it for him,
He has let me know recently that this happened after his laptop crashed one day,
(he is running windows 7 ultimate 32 bit on 1gb of ram -_-)
so no surprises there with the crash!!
he also said that alot of the contact issues also happened after he tried to sync his HTC phone contacts with outlooks, could this be the reason??

In my previous post i said that:

"when i go into the contacts area is does not show the '-' it still says John Paul, then once i hit save and exit, suddenly its gone and its no longer got '-' but its no longer under 'J' or 'P' i don't even know where its gone unless i search for it!"

I was looking at the contacts again and realised that when i hit save and exit and the contact dissapears it actuallu goes down my contact list lower and still appears with the "-" in front of the name but just in a weirder order than it was already in.

I cannot get rid of the "-" even if i fill in every details in the contact fill out sheet,
This has only effected SOME of the contacts and not all,
it does not effect the new contacts i put in,
just about 100-200 of random old contacts


ThankYou
