I just added a contact by right clicking on the email address in a message. When I start a new message and start typing the person's name, it comes up. When I go to the address book, a search also turns it up. But going to any address book or to the default "all address books," then scrolling down, doesn't show it. How can that be?

I should say that the interface for the address book or books has changed since I last used it, and it's a bit puzzling too. One can use the scroll bar to move down the lists, but it defaults to a search interface, and simply clicking on a list item and hitting a key no longer takes one to names beginning with that letter. How strange. Pointers?

Thank you,

Thanks so much. I see what the problem was and feel foolish. Somehow the contact saved with, as a default, Last, First rather than First Last like all the other contacts. So it was further down in the list. I edited it just now.
