I am about to migrate from Office 2010 to Office 365 with Outlook 2016. Currently I have numerous email accounts configured in Outlook 2010 including Outlook.com Premium(configured as exchange accounts) Outlook.com Free (Currently IMAP), BT Yahoo (configured IMAP) Gmail (IMAP) etc.
The primary contacts list is contained within the default Outlook.pst created when Outlook was first installedand first account configured. This was a BT Yahoo account originally configured as POP but reconfigured as IMAP. However many of the other email accounts have their own contacts folder often resulting from mobile phone contacts when an email address was configured on the the smart phone. This make the whole thing messy with lots of duplicates plus missing contacts in contacts list associated with a particular email account.
Is it possible to create a shared local address book/Contacts folder in Outlook 2016 using a separate PST file? If so how do I ensure all accounts see this as the default
contact list/address book when creating a new email in each account? For clarity the PC is single log in so there are not individual Win10 Profiles.
Many thanks
