Sending E-Mail by Using a SharePoint Contacts List

You might occasionally move and copy contacts to a SharePoint Contacts list. However, you might frequently use a Contacts list to look up specific contact details, such as a telephone number, or send the contact an e-mail.

In this exercise, you will send an e-mail by using a SharePoint Contacts list.

OPEN Outlook 2007 before you begin this exercise. The exercise will use the Contacts list that was populated in the second exercise in this chapter, but you can use whatever Contacts list you want. Ensure that there are contact items added to the list and that you have connected the Contacts list to Outlook 2007.

BE SURE TO verify that you have sufficient rights to read the contents of a Contacts list. If in doubt, see the Appendix on page 435.
