Sharing 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?

What type of account is this "generic" account? Is it an Exchange account, a POP account, an IMAP account? -- Brian 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 "Brian Tillman" wrote: Pat wrote: Ah sorry. Our email system runs off an Exchange Server. All using Outlook 2003.

Sharing contacts of an account
OK, responded before asking one final question. 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. "Pat" wrote: Thanks Brian! That seemed to do the trick.
