Link local contacts to server contacts?
I am using Outlook 2003. I'm not sure if I put the write subject describer
but here is what I am doing and would like to do. I have a .pst file called Mailbox. This is the one that pulls the emails from the email server. I have a blackberry linked to my outlook in which my blackberry receives emails and calendar events and gets the contact information. When I update contacts in this .pst file, Mailbox, it then updates my blackberry. Within Outlook, I have a rule that moves all incoming mail to a local .pst file, called 2009 Local Emails. I did this because the email server cannot hold very many emails so I work from my local .pst file. From this .pst file I can send and reply to emails. Because I do this, it uses my local .pst file contact list to email to. Here is what I would like to do. I would like to have something along the the lines that takes my local contact list and always pulls from the Mailbox contact list. This way, I only have to update one contact list from the Mailbox .pst file and it will automatically keep my local .pst's contact list up-to-date. Is there a way to do this? So far, what I do is I update the contact from the Mailbox.pst. Then I hit Ctrl-C on the contact, click in the local .pst's contact list and hit Ctrl-V and update the existing contact. I have not been able to think of an easier way to do this. Thanks for any help. |

Link local contacts to server contacts?
Is the server account using Exchange server? Outlook can display all
contacts folders as address books so there is little reason to sync the folders - although there are 3rd party tools you can use. If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when you click on the To button, make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is the box to enable as email address book is checked? See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync-mail.asp for utilities than can sync the folders. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.
