Easier way to Share SubContacts?
Can someone please confirm whether this is correct?
To share my main Contact folder, I can just click Share My Contacts in the left pane To share a Contacts subfolder, I need to enable Folder visible for my Mailbox & Contacts folder & then assign permissions on the subfolder. The other person would then have to add my Mailbox to their folder list in order to see the subfolder. Is there not an easier way to share the subfolder?? Thanks |

Easier way to Share SubContacts?
If you use Exchange Server with Public Folders:
A Public Folder Contact type is ideal to use as a shared Outlook Address Book. - Everyone can add this PF to their own Outlook Address Book. That way the contacts will appear in their own address book and they won't need to visit the folder each time they want to use it. - Set permissions on the Contact Public Folder (PF) to Author if you want everyone to add their own info but not screw up anyone else's Reviewer if you want one guy to be the keeper - Then have everyone add this PF to their own Outlook Address Book. That way the contacts will appear in their own address book and they won't need to visit the folder each time they want to use it. - Right click on the Contact PF - Select Properties - Select the Outlook Address Book tab - Select (turn on) the check mark next to "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" Now to use this, open a new message, click the TO, and select the Contact Public Folder from the "Show Names from the:" Outlook Address Book. or to add the public folder to your favorites, Below is the info on adding a public folder to your Favorites bar for Outlook 2007: Outlook 2007: The link that follows is the Microsoft Office Online FREE training course.
