XCLN: Outlook for the Macintosh Cannot Use Outlook Contacts (198484)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Outlook for Macintosh, Exchange Server Edition 8.0
- Microsoft Outlook for Macintosh, Exchange Server Edition 8.1
This article was previously published under Q198484 SUMMARY
When you use Outlook for the Macintosh, address information is stored in a
Personal Address Book, or .pab file. The client cannot select e-mail
addresses from an Outlook Contacts folder.
Outlook for the Macintosh is not comparable feature for feature to the
Windows 32-bit versions of Outlook. Outlook for the Macintosh does not
recognize the custom items contained in a personal Outlook Contacts folder,
nor can it display them correctly. Outlook for the Macintosh does not have
the capability of using Outlook Address Books.
Use Personal Address Books to manage e-mail addresses from Outlook for the
Macintosh.
MORE INFORMATION
It is also possible to use Outlook Web Access (OWA)(Exchange Server 5.5
Service Pack 1 or later) to allow a Macintosh to see personal Outlook
Contacts folders. Using OWA allows the Macintosh user to see and address e-
mail to items in a personal Outlook Contacts folder.
