Outlook 98 -- Send to Email3

Closed to new repliesThis discussion is closed. It stays readable, but it takes no new replies.

I have a client who has many Contacts with email addresses in the Email3 field. He wishes to send a particular message to his Contacts using their Email3 address, NOT their Email1 (default) address.

We can view the Contacts by Phone List, and sort by the Email3 column, thus grouping the Contacts that have the Email3 field occupied. What we can't figure out is how to address a message to the Email3 address -- OL98 defaults to using the Email1 address.

Start the new message, click the TO: button. Select his Contacts folder from the drop down list. All users email address should show as: User Name (Email 1), User Name (Email 2), etc..
Just select the Email 3 from the list.

Thanks, but this solution is clumsy, and prone to error, since it relies on the eyes of the user.

Outlook actually defaults to the last used e-mail address of a contact... so the user could go through and pick E-mail3 once and it would default to that thereafter. Any other solution would probably require a form with some programming done to just use email3. Or maybe another possibility to try would be to create a separate contact record for all e-mail3 addresses.
