There is a group of us that have individual outlook profiles and we also have an email address for the company which we all have access to. I have been able to add the contacts list as a shared folder. Is there a way to have this shared contact list available with the to: button when we create a new mail message?
 
The process of adding another user's Contacts folder to your own address book display is somewhat involved:

1. Start with a profile that logs directly onto the other user's mailbox, not your own.

2. On the Properties dialog for the other user's Contacts folder, make sure that it's set to display in the Outlook Address Book and give it a display name other than contacts, such as Joe's Contacts.

3. Close Outlook.

4. In Control Panel | Mail, edit the *same profile* to change the mailbox from the other user's to your own. On the Advanced tab of the Exchange Server service, add the other user's mailbox as a secondary mailbox.

5. Restart Outlook, and you should see the Joe's Contacts in your Outlook Address Book as well as your own Contacts folder.

Joes Contacts show up as a secondary contact list, but it does not show up when the to: button is clicked to pick whom to send the emails to- and this is what I am looking for
