Hi,
Is it possible to have your contacts, including a distrubtion list shared in
a public folder? so that user who have access to the public folder, are able
to send emails using theses contacts and public folders?

If any one has any suggestions id appreciate it.

Regards
Damien.

Yes. It works well.

What version of Outlook?
What don't you understand about using a Public Folder this way?

you would need to move your contacts to the folder. Some of the tools on
this page: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync-mail.asp can sync the
folders.

Hi Judy,
Im Using outlook 2007.
I have a public folder created. and shared to a group of users.
I have a new Contact Item created under this public folder. in it i have an
existing Distrubtion list.

when Creating a new mail, i dont see this DL listed, how can i make this DL
visible to all users with access to the public folder?

hope that makes sense.. ?

Regards
Damien

Did you enable the folder as an address book?
right click on it, choose properties, outlook address book tab.

Not sure what you mean by not seeing it in Contacts.

If you use the To... button to address an email, can you get to the Public
Contacts Folder to access the DL?

When you click To, you need to select the public folder from the look in
drop down - then you should see it.
