Overview:

Procedure:

1. Open the Public Folder folder. (If none exists or you don't have permission to use it, have your admin account create one in your control panel. Then have admin Manage Permissions on the folder so that you're a Publishing Editor.)
2. Right-click on the Public Folder and click New Folder.
3. Under Name, type the name you want to give this contact list (for example, Vendors).
4. Under folder contains, select Contact Items.
5. Click OK.
6. Move any contacts you want to put in this folder into it or create new entries. (You can use import/export of a folder to do this.)
7. To make this folder show up in Outlook when you click 'To:' on an email message, do the following:


1. Right-click on the contact list you just created and click Properties.


2. Click the Outlook Address Book tab.


3. Put a check next to 'Show this folder as an email address book'.


4. Click OK. Now you can select contact list when you click To: on a new message in Outlook. (NOTE: This will not work in OWA, only in Outlook. In OWA, you must copy the email address from a contact and paste it into a new mail message.)

8. To have this address list show up as the primary address list, see the link below on how to have a different contact list show up first in Outlook.
