Contacts and Address Book, how are they related?

[TechCarnivore]

Hi,
I have a list of contacts with phone numbers and email addresses, however when I create an email, none of the email addresses show in my address book.

How do I connect or move the email addresses in my contact list, to my address book?

Also I've tried dragging my contact list, to the public folders contact, but I receive a message saying special folders such as contacts, journals etc cannot be moved. I know I've dragged contacts to the public folder previously, so what might I be doing wrong?

Ah after some searching.

If I right click contacts and select properties. On the outlook address book tab, there is an option to "show this folder as an email address book"
