Contacts enable you to create your own lists of users that might not be within the GAL. By entering them into Contacts, you can easily send emails and appointments to those contacts and create distribution lists made up of users in the GAL and those in your personal contact lists. Creating ContactsCreating contacts is a simple three-step process:
Editing ContactsTo edit an already created contact, double-click the contact. Edit the contact sheet as needed, and then click Save and Close when completed. Mapping Addresses from ContactsWhen you click the Mapping button icon, if you have access to the Internet, OWA contacts mappoint.msn.com and pulls up a map of the location stated in the Address portion of the Contacts sheet. Changing Contact ViewsJust as the Inbox provides you with multiple views for email, Contacts provides six views for contacts:
Deleting ContactsTo delete a contact, click the contact to highlight it and click the Delete button in the Infobar or press the Delete key. Finding NamesTo find names in contacts, click the Address Book icon. When the familiar Find Names dialog box appears, click Contacts in the Look in box to search contacts instead of the GAL. This feature can be configured to always search Contacts rather than the GAL in the OWA options area in OWA. Sending Mail from ContactsIf a contact sheet is open , email can be sent directly to the contact if a correct email address is configured for the contact. To send an email directly, click the Send email to Contact button in the toolbar. OWA then opens a new email dialog box with the addressee information already completed, listing the contact as the intended recipient. Complete the email and send it. Creating New Distribution ListsFrom Contacts, you can create custom distribution lists. All distribution lists are then saved in Contacts and differentiated from a standard contact with the group icon after it. TIP Contact Distribution lists can include only recipients from the GAL, not from the user 's contact list. To create a new distribution list, enter Contacts and do the following:
