Outlook 2003: Is there any way of making the contacts list of asecondary mailbox appear in the address book drop down list?
A small group of our users user a third party application that
incorporates a plug in for Outlook. It works fine, except that it requires specific addresses (stored in the contacts of a shared mailbox, not their own personal mail accounts). How do I get the contacts of a secondary mailbox to appear in the drop down list of the address book within Outlook (if this is possible at all). I can only think of 2 workarounds only: 1) Use a public folder - not ideal as we would have to continually copy over contacts from the shared mailbox; and 2) for the users to log in with the account of the shared mailbox - would cause even more complications. Is there any way of accomplishing this for a secondary mailbox? Thanks, QH |

1) Share the folder/mailbox and have the users make a permanent connection
to it. See http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm 2) Have them enable the Outlook Address Book option on the contacts folder.
