MS Office Forum / Outlook / Installation and Configuration / December 2004Global Address List / Outlook Address Book
Hi, At my present company each user sets up their own contacts list including for other internal users. Where I've worked previously we didn't have to set up internal users as they existed in the outlook address book. Can someone please explain why the outlook address book at my present company would be empty and how do I populate it - please include steps required from both a users and administrators perspective. I am using Microsoft Outlook 2002 Sorry, but I don't understand the question, given the scant information you provided about your version of Outlook and the mail environment. The Outlook Address Book shows the addresses in your default Contacts folders and the other contact folders that you may have asked to be shown in the Outlook Address Book. Perhaps you're confusing it with the Global Address List, which would contain internal addresses if Exchange is your mail server. Both would appear in the address book, but as separate address lists.

I am using Microsoft Outlook 2002 It is the global address list which is empty. The email server type we use is POP3 and we use a program called MDaemon. I am also aware of a WAB file which contains a list of the internal addresses but am unsure if outlook can utilise this in the contacts - either in global address list or otherwise. If there is other information about the environment that would be helpful please provide any info you can as to the type of info to provide. Thanks for your patience. > Sorry, but I don't understand the question, given the scant information you > provided about your version of Outlook and the mail environment.

I am using Microsoft Outlook 2002 An Outlook mail profile using a POP account has no intrinsic global address list. A .wab file is an Outlook Express address book file and has in it only what the user put there. Everything you've said so far suggests that there's no reason to expect any shared address list to exist in your environment.

A note on the Wab file - in MDaemon in the setup menu under Miscellaneous if you go to the WAB tab there is a check box to mirror addresses to the wab file. It also states that this will then keep the Windows Address book (WAB) up to date. I therefore believe this is more than just what the user puts there and was hence wondering if it can be utilised in outlook. This may or may not be addressed in the site you referenced, if so then I imagine I'll find the answer there.

I am using Microsoft Outlook 2002 No, the site I suggested will have no information on that, since the WAB file is not part of Outlook. What you should investigate instead is whether your copy of MDaemon is also running an LDAP address list.
