MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2007Displaying Shared Folders
At the left of my Outlook 2003 window, I have my contacts displayed. There are "My Contacts" and "Other Contacts". What is the difference and how can I manipulate the display to show the folders in one or the other? I like having "Other Contacts" separate, but don't know how to tell Outlook where to put the folders. My Contacts are contacts folders in Exchange mailboxes and .pst files. Other Contacts includes folders in Public Folders\Favorites. You can't do much with the display other than move folders up or down in either list. Outlook 2007 provides a little more tweaking.

In my "Other Contacts" window I can see a share contacts folder from another employee, and two public folders. It has been that way for a few months so I don't know exactly how they got there. I'm wondering how I can deliberately place folders in one or the other. Should I assume that if I have permissions on someone elses folder, but do not have it in "My Contacts" that is should show in the "Other Contacts" window? > My Contacts are contacts folders in your Exchange mailbox and .pst files.

No, you should not assume that. Just because you have permissions on a folder doesn't mean that Outlook knows you want to look at it. Once you view a shared mailbox folder, it will be in the list.
