Shared Mailbox contacts in the address book
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. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "TQuinn" wrote in message ...

Shared Mailbox contacts in the address book
I have the same problem. The only way I have found to get
around this is to copy contacs and distribution lists from the shared contact list to my personal contacts. This seems very inefficient. Does anyone know how to get around this?

Shared Mailbox contacts in the address book
Thank you for your very quick response. I am actually
trying to see shared contacts from a shared mailbox rather than another person's contacts folder. I am using Outlook 2003. I was able to see the Contacts of the shared mailbox in my address book before I upgraded to Office 2003. Can you help?

Shared Mailbox contacts in the address book
Explain what you mean by "shared contacts from a shared mailbox" and how
that differs from seeing the other person's contacts in your address book. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Aaron" wrote in message ...

Shared Mailbox contacts in the address book
It is the Contacts of a shared Exchange mailbox that I
have added from the Advanced tab of the Exchange Server dialog window. Since it does not belong to another individual, I cannot start with a profile that logs directly into that mailbox. -----Original Message----- Explain what you mean by "shared contacts from a shared mailbox" and how that differs from seeing the other person's contacts in your address book. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Aaron" wrote in message ...

Shared Mailbox contacts in the address book
Huh? "A shared Exchange mailbox" and "does not belong to another individual"
are contradictory. If it's a shared Exchange mailbox, then by definition it has a user account associated with it that can be used to log onto it directly. If you cannot log onto it directly to follow the instructions I provided, you cannot see that Contacts folder in your address book. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx wrote in message ...
