Public Folder Contacts not appearing
 
Hello,

I am trying to get a Public Folder Contact list to behave in a certain
way.

We have Exchange 2003 w/sp1, all clients running Ooutlook 2003 w/SP1

I can see all of the contacts within the /Public Folder/All Public
Folders/ hierarchy, let's call it "Shipping Contacts". There are 55
contacts listed within.

Now when a user wants to send an e-mail to one of these contacts they
need to be able to:
-open a new email
-click "To"
-Click the dropdown arrow under "Show names from the" and select
"Public Folders"

Nothing shows up here. I want the contacts listed within the "Shipping
Contacts" list to show up so they can select any users they wish.

A user created this Public Folder Contact list, so I am not sure what
needs to be tweaked to allow this to happen.
Thanks!

Dear Gabriel,

select the contact folder, right mouseclick, proberties, Outlook
Addressbook, select "show this folder as Outlook Addressbook".

Try it again now with the "To" field. ;-)

Hmm, if I try to make this change from within Outlook, that option is
greyed out. I have "author rights" on the folder. Shouldnt I be able
to change it?

Dear Thorn,

is your Outlook Addressboook available in the Outlook directories?

Please have a look on this site and check the general settings for your
Outlook Addressbook:
http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/oloab.htm

After you are sure that your Outlook Adressboock is available in the Outlook
services, try my last posting again, but pleasse read at first read the
slipstick information.
