I use OUTLook 2003. Is there a way to verity an account whether exist in
GAL(Golbal Address List) by BV or VBA?
 
Call Namespace.CreateRecipient, then call Recipient.Resolve. Note that the
name could end up getting resolved by the address book providers other then
GAL (e.g. OAB).
To be able to resolve against a particular container (such as GAL), you need
to use Extended MAPI. Or <plug> wait for the next version of Redemption
</plug>.

Using Outlook Object Model? You can create a message, call Recipients.Add,
then call either Recipient.Resolve or Recipients.ResolveAll. The result
however won't be any different from using Namespace.CreateRecipient

I got an error when using recipient.resolve(). What's value returned for
Recipient.resolved() when the alias can't be resolved?
 
What was the error? You will need to catch the error and assume that the
name resolution was unsuccessful.
Recipient.Resolved will remain false.
