email addresses into contacts

Open your folders view... Grab it and drag it out of the InBox and drop it on the contacts folder. The only bad (which I think is OK) is it puts the email message in the comments area. I like this so I remember who they were.

I hope this helpsyou.

One way to add someone to your contacts from an email is to open the message, right-click on the FROM field (or email address) and choose Add to Contacts.
Hope this helps.

Are you thinking of the Outlook Express option to "automatically put people I reply to in my address book"? I'm not familiar with an option in Outlook 2000.

Yes, I believe that would be exactly what I was looking for...I've always heard that the internet email portion of Outlook 2000 actually used the Outlook express. So why wouldn't the "more powerful" program offer the features from the less powerful. Unless I'm getting senile, I used it with Outlook 97 or 98 also....I remember my contacts growing like weeds!

I don't think there is a setting in Outlook 2000 where you can turn on to automatically do that.
But Microsoft has a custom action called AdContact that adds the sender's email to your Contacts. It's a free. Not sure if it works with Outlook 2000 though. You can find it here:

Also, check out Ornic Technologies site for a non-free program that will do the trick too. It's called ExLife.

Hope this is more along the lines of what you're looking for!

If you select the drop down [Tools] menu, then Options, and on the Preferences tab, the [Email Options] button, then check the box near the bottom for "Automatically Put people I Reply to in ..." and then make sure that the CONTACTS folder is selected.

Yes, I am using Outlook 2000 also and I have this option available at the bottom of screen that I previously descibed (as follows):

If you select the drop down [Tools] menu, then Options, and on the Preferences tab, the [Email Options] button, then check the box near the bottom for "Automatically Put people I Reply to in ..." and then make sure that the CONTACTS folder is selected.

Note: you may wish to try re-installing Office and use the "Custom Install" to make sure that "Run all from My Computer" is selected for the Outlook portion.

Good luck!
