Use delegated contacts

[Jonathan]

Hi,

I have set up delegate rights for another user. The user
can see my inbox and contacts folders. The user is able to
right-click a contact in my contacts folder to create a
message addressed to that contact.

The problem is when the user has a message open and wants
to address it to one or more of my contacts. When the user
has the 'Select Names' dialog displayed, the user is
unable to chose my contacts folder from the 'Select names
from the:' drop-down box.

How do I set this up so that this user can select contacts
from my contacts folder?

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated

Cheers
Jonathan

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.

Hi Sue,

I guess I'm a bit dense... can you please expand your
instructions as I have been trying over the last couple
of days and still don't seem to get this to work. I seem
to struggle from step 4...

Cheers

I don't know how to say it much differently. You basically start with a profile that opens another user's mailbox, then change the address book display name for that person's Contacts folder. After that, you shut down Outlook and point that same profile instead to your own mailbox, adding the other person now as a secondary mailbox.

Maybe you can explain where you're getting hung up.
