What does "Act! is Loading your Address Book" Mean?
Setting up Outlook integration for the first time as a new user or as an upgrading user requires your contacts to load into an address book in Outlook. Users are reporting long load times, more information can be found in the article below.
Update: Some users are reporting that while the address book is loading for the first time the Outlook UI becomes unresponsive. This is currently under investigation. Initial findings indicate that exchange accounts are taking longer to load the address book and Outlook 2019 64-bit UI is more likely to become unresponsive. Users are reporting that if Outlook is minimised this process does complete but may take some time.
Update: This issue is considered resolved in Act! v22.1 update 4. The address book is no longer stored in Outlook and is loaded via the Act! API.
