SUMMARY

Microsoft Mail For Windows does not load the entire global address list (GAL) into RAM. A small portion of the GAL is loaded when you are viewing the it through the address book dialog box but it continues to read from the GAL.NME file as you scroll through the list. This information does not remain in memory. If you compose another message, Mail reads from the GAL.NME file again.
