My Saved Address Book Issues:

What is preventing my saved email addresses to actually show they are currently saved when I scroll over the "Save this address in the address book" icon whenever I know I've clicked to save them? A lot of my email addresses I click to save never shows them to where it says "Edit Contact" when I scroll over that icon again, and it's aggravating when they'll even show in my address book when I look into that noticing that the same exact contacts are being shown multiple times from me clicking the "Save this address in the address book" thinking it hasn't been done yet when it has! This has went on for the past several months now and didn't just start happening!

I am unclear on what you are describing. Are you saying that when you rightclick an email address in your FROM list the drop-down menu offers the option to 'add to address book' when it's already there? Please clarify. thank you.

When I have an email open there is just a small round contact icon you can scroll over to where it shows that you can save that name & address or edit it if it shows that you already have it saved, and no I'm not right clicking on it to pull any menu options up. A lot of my email addresses I click to save that now in my address book won't show that it is currently saved in my address book whenever it is, and I'm stating that when I receive the next email of that same exact saved email address that icon scrolled over still shows the "Save this address..." option as if it is an email address not saved yet, so when I assume it's a new one for me to click the save it just adds another same exact name & email address in my book and still not show that it is a saved contact when I try it again. There's just some odd issue that keeps a lot of my saved contacts from being shown saved each time I receive their next emails from them same exact email addresses & names I've had saved, and that's why it's aggravating when I've had the same ones shown saved on my address book list multiple times whenever I open it to check that before I click to "Save this address..." again on it. I've even took time to delete a lot of them that kept showing multiples of in my address book list just to see if that would help it get saved and shown saved & stored whenever I click to "Save this address..." again on the next email, but that hasn't changed any of that odd issue either!

I tried, but I cannot duplicate what you're reporting. Maybe someone else has ideas
