Hi, I have delegation permission to another person's
contacts. Using >>Tools >>Email Accounts... I can view
this person's contact folder in my Folder List.

The problem is that when creating a message item, I do not
have this other person's folder in the 'Select names from
the' drop down list of contact folders.

How do I adjust the setup to provide this?

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated :-)

Thanks
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.

Sue, thanks for these instructions.
I can follow steps 1 to 3.

Step 4 seems to be two steps. I'm not sure whether I
should still be logged on as the other user or have logged
on as myself for the entire process.

I log on as myself to complete the process on the Advanced
tab of the Exchange Server service. So that step 5 works.

I just can't figure out the first part of step 4 for the
instruction...
"edit the *same profile* to change the mailbox for the
other user's to your own"

Can you please expand this instuction for me.

Thanks
Jonathan

At all times, you need to be logged on in Windows as yourself. You are
correct that Step 4 is really 4a and 4b. You need to edit the same profile
as in Step 1.
