Contacts in Public Folders
I need to change the default folder Contacts are stored in to a public folder. Using Outlook 2003 linked to a 2003 Exchange Server, I can change the default folder to a Public Folder and all contacts will automatically save to that folder. Using Outlook 2003 or 2007 linked to a 2007 Exchange Server, it doesn't work. The settings I can find appear to be the same. Does anyone have any ideas?

Basically Contatcs folders are located in mailbox not in PF's but yes you can still create Contacts folder in exchange2007. Coz exchange 2007 still supports PF's Managing Public Folders http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124411.aspxVinod |CCNA|MCSE 2003 +Messaging|MCTS|ITIL V3|

Go to Address Book, then Tools, Options and setthe following:Show this address list firstKeep personal addresses inWhen sending mail...to the public folder.I tested it by just setting Keep personal addresses in... to the public folder in question but for some reason it only works if you set all 3 to use it as default.
