change default contact list in Outlook 2010 to "contacts" rather than "global"

ssw · Aug 28, 2012

I'm new to MS Exchange and in Outlook 2010 when I do a new email and hit "to" it goes to some empty Global contact list. How can I set it to go to my "contact" list by default?

Open the Address book (from ribbon on the main interface) and go it it's tools, options menu. Select the folder you want to see first.
