Sending email via contact categories through Exchange Server.

[Ed]

All my contacts are categorized. When I email I select the categories and
create a new message to contact.

I'm out of the office alot and my boss would like to access my contact list
from her computer through the Exchange Server, choose and display the
categories for the contacts, and mail to those selected contact categories as
I do.

I can't think of a way of doing that? I can give her permissions but I
don't think any of them will allow her to call up contacts by category and
then mail by those categories remotely.

Any suggestions would be appreciated - or even knowing that this can't be
done.

Outlook 2003.

Thanks

Ed

if your boss can open your contacts folder she will see the categories and
can sort by them. She'd need to use Actions, Send new mail to as your
contacts can't be added to the address book so they won't be available when
you click the To button.

Thanks, Diane.

One further question. What level of permission must I give her for her to be
able to sort, select the specific categories, and send. I'm hesitant to give
anyone permission to be able to edit or delete - especially if they don't
know what they are doing with Outlook.

Thanks again.
