We're running Outlook 2000 and Exchange 2000.
I have a Distribution List called DL1
in a Contacts Folder called CF1
in a Public Folder called PF1.
When I type DL1 in the To: field of an email and click "Check Names" Outlook
is unable to resolve the name of the Distribution List. But it resolves non
Distribution List entries just fine.
To set this up, I right clicked CF1, clicked Properties, Outlook Address
Book, and placed a
check mark in front of "Show this folder as an e-mail address book".
In Outlook I clicked Tools, Services, Addressing and added CF1 into my "When
sending mail, check names using these address lists in the following order
field".
CF1 contains the Distribution List called CF1 as mentioned above, but it
also contains a regular contact called address1.
When I start a new email and type address1 in the "To:" field and press
<Alt><K>, address1 resolves as expected. So the folder appears to be known
to Outlook for address resolution.
The problem is that when I start a new email and type DL1 in the "To:" field
and press <Alt><K>, it doesn't resolve. Instead, the Check Names dialog
appears and it says that Outlook doesn't recognize DL1.
So, after much experimentation and google groups searching, I am unable to
have Outlook resolve the names of Distribution Lists if the DLs are stored
in Contacts folders that are stored in Public Folders.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance!
