Working with new contacts

[Guest]

I'm working with Outlook and Business contact manager.

It appears that new contacts always - via "add new contact" in the recived
mail - ends up in the 'contacts' while what I
need/want is to add them in the BCM by default - in fact I would appreciate
that there was only one list of emails.

Is it possible to set up some ways to organize new entrys to the contact
lists? I often need to add a new contact directly to a distribution list in
BCM but how do I do this directly from a recived mail?

Regards Per

I guess "add new contact" is an Outlook command.

To create a contact from an email message, try the "Create" button in
the BCM section of the ribbon.

Thanks
But where excactly do you find this "create" button - it do not appear any
where when I right clik the message, the sender or on Ribon part of the
message¨.

I also tried to add the button 'add new businesscontact' to the quick menu
but this function does not grab the mail information.

Adding to above - it appears that BCM does not support disttibution lists???

So BCM does not integrate into MSO..... or did I miss something??

You are correct that BCM itself does not have a distribution list
feature, but I expect that's because the Outlook distribution lists
continue to work after BCM is installed. You should be able to add BCM
Business Contacts to Outlook distribution lists.
