Hello,

My question is how I can view my shared contacts in the "to" field when I
send a new e-mail? I had it worked, but when I changed something (don't know
what) at the exchange server the contacts where gone at the field. Can anyone
help me with this problem, it's very important that this could be solved
quickly?!?

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.

There is no other method. Following the steps I suggested *exactly* should
work. Most people who have problems with the procedure stumble on step 4.
