Hi!

(working with a Norwegian version of Outlokk, trying to translate as good as
i can)

I (or we at the office) have 2 contact folders, my contacts and other
contacts (from a shared account). All of this is running on a win small
business server 2003.

My question is; when i want to write a new e-mail, I can only get e-mail
adress from my contacts, not the shared contact folder (when I press the "To"
button). Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust settings, so that I can
pick up information from both contact folders when I am typing a new e-mail
message? Or do i have to go to the contact folder (other contacts) and right
click contact -> send e-mail to obtain the adress?

The process of adding another user's Contacts folder to your own address
book display is somewhat involved. You will need to be able to create -- at
least temporarily -- an Outlook profile that opens another user's mailbox as
the primary mailbox. Proceed with these steps while logged in under your own
Windows account, not the other user's:

1. Create an Outlook profile that connects directly to the other user's
mailbox, not your own, and start Outlook with that profile.

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* (i.e. the one from Step
1) to change the mailbox from the other user's to your own.

5. Still working with the same profile, on the Advanced tab of the Exchange
Server service, add the other user's mailbox as a secondary mailbox.

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