MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2007Sharing contacts of an account
Hey all, we have a sort of generic email account to go along with our personal accounts. What I'm wanting to do is give each person access to the generic account. I've got it all good to go for the most part. The one issue I'm having now is getting the contacts folder from the generic account to show up in the Address Book. I've gone so far as to log in as the generic account and made sure the contacts is set to visible for all users but that apparently isn't the key. Any ideas? > Hey all, we have a sort of generic email account to go along with our > personal accounts.

Posted in this very newsgroup in 2005: <http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.outlook.contacts/msg/97a748fd8cc8ca05> SignatureBrian Tillman Thanks Brian! That seemed to do the trick. One thing to note for people that it doesn't necessarily say too clearly there is you need to follow those steps for each computer that you want to have accessing the shared contact folder. Worked like a charm though. Thanks for the link to that! Pat > > Ah sorry. Our email system runs off an Exchange Server.

And I'm not seeing an option to edit my last post so sorry for the double here. My last question regarding this subject is how I can direct sent messages to the correct folder. When sending messages, using the From field to choose the generic account, it appears Outlook still puts those messages into the Sent Items folder under my account, not the generic one. Any suggestions on this? I've tried looking at making a rule for it but nothing seems to really let me do that. > Thanks Brian! That seemed to do the trick.

SignatureBrian Tillman See that's what I thought, but in going through their little "wizard" I wasn't seeing any real options for directing messages sent with the generic account to the Sent Items folder of the generic account. > > My last question regarding this subject is how I can direct sent > > messages to the correct folder.

Wouldn't the "through the specified account" condition work for you? SignatureBrian Tillman But see the Rules Wizard always wants to start the rule with "Apply this rule after the message arrives". Technically the message isn't arriving. It's simply placing a copy of the sent message into the Sent Items folder. Seems I tried using this but it wasn't doing it. > > See that's what I thought, but in going through their little "wizard" > > I wasn't seeing any real options for directing messages sent with the > > generic account to the Sent Items folder of the generic account. > > Wouldn't the "through the specified account" condition work for you? > But see the Rules Wizard always wants to start the rule with "Apply > this rule after the message arrives".

Rules and Alerts>New Rule>Start from a blank rule>Check messages after sending SignatureBrian Tillman OK, that isn't working. After that I choose the "specified account" option but it only lets me choose "Microsoft Exchange Server". So now everything I send, whether from the generic account or my personal one, has a copy go to the Sent Items folder for the generic account. > > But see the Rules Wizard always wants to start the rule with "Apply > > this rule after the message arrives".

So > now everything I send, whether from the generic account or my > personal one, has a copy go to the Sent Items folder for the generic > account. Then it's not really another account. I don't see any other condition that might apply. Sorry. Perhaps someone else will be able to suggest something. SignatureBrian Tillman Well, it seems one of our tech guys told me it was a sort of alias account if that does make a difference. So like, when I choose the account for sending a message the email would show as From "generic account name" on behalf of "personal account name". Make sense? Maybe that does make a difference. In any case if you're still out of ideas let say thanks Brian for at least giving this a shot. I appreciate your input on it. > > OK, that isn't working.
