The OL accounts sharing out their contacts were OL 2007 and OL 2010. So this method will not work with OL 2007, but, likely, will work with OL 2013, which I have not tested. A key to its success is that OL 2010 allows multiple Exchange accounts under one profile. My method was tested extensively on several OL2010 installations. (On some computers, I was never able to get that to go away, before now.) Nor did it ever cause the Status Bar message “Online with Microsoft Exchange” rather than the preferred “You are connected to Microsoft Exchange” which I often saw regardless of the state of my Use Cached Exchange Mode setting. This procedure never results in the "Your mailbox has been temporarily moved." message that frequently occurred with the published method. I’d like to suggest a similar but, for me, more successful method of showing another’s contacts in an Address Book. Many thanks to Diane Poremsky and to all of Slipstick for this method that I have used for over a year. The workaround is to start the merge in Outlook instead, displaying the source contacts folder, then choosing Tools | Mail Merge. However, in some versions of Outlook, you will receive an error if you start a merge with a contacts folder in Public Folders from within Word. NotesĪny contacts folder that you see in the Outlook Address Book can be used as the data source for a merge with Word. Restart Outlook, using the same profile as in Steps 1 and 4.Īfter you restart Outlook, when you display the address book, you should see Joe's Contacts listed in the Outlook Address Book along with your own Contacts folder.On the Advanced tab of the Exchange Server service, add the other user's mailbox as a secondary mailbox.

In the Microsoft Exchange Server service, change the main mailbox from the other user's to your own. In Control Panel | Mail, bring up the properties for the profile that you created in Step 1.Under Name of the address book, change the displayname from Contacts (the default) to a name that will distinguish this address list, such as Joe's Contacts if you're in Joe's mailbox. Make sure that the Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book box is checked. Right-click the other user's Contacts folder, choose Properties, then switch to the Outlook Address Book tab.

If you receive a prompt that Outlook cannot open the folders, you may need to ask the Exchange administrator to grant your Windows user account full access to the other user's mailbox temporarily so that you can complete these steps.
