SYMPTOMS
When you use multiple offline address books with Outlook, an incorrect recipient may be selected when you perform an ambiguous name search by using an offline address book after you previously performed an ambiguous name search that utilized a different offline address book. The incorrectly selected recipient does appear in the To box, but this may not be apparent to the sender and could lead to misdirected mail.



CAUSE
Outlook incorrectly utilizes the cached information from the previously utilized ambiguous name search of a different offline address book.
