Displaying the Activity tab performs a search of whatever folders are in the currently displayed activities group to locate items related to the current contact either through an email address or a specific contact link. The Outlook mail account configuration does not affect that behavior.

I've got a user that went to a friend's workplace, where they also have
AD implemented. There, when they go to Contacts, open a contact, and
click the Activity tab, they see a complete history of every email
they've sent to them and able to track it. However, on our site, the
contact list is mostly people from outside our AD domain(on mine, I
have only one person, the user in question has over 600). The user
really only wants the ability to track messages. I've got a couple
Outlook books(Outlook 2003: Step By Step and Outlook 2003: Inside Out)
but I can't find any information relating to the Activity tab behaving
how she's telling me it does, nor any information about how it behaves
in an AD domain. Any help?
