Make sure you have added those contacts properly in the Outlook Address Book. And then try.

Edit: When you press a dialog comes up. In there it will be somewhere to select which contacts. Select "Main Identity." Make sure its not set to Shared contacts by default.

Why not take the opportunity to ditch Outlook and use a client that isn't targetted by every email worm created.

I recommend Mozilla Thunderbird.

Outlook Express comes as part of Windows, not office.

There is Office 2003, which includes Outlook 2003, but you really should listen to the advice already given, ie using Outlook presenting a security risk.

I also recommend Thunderbird.
