For a small company (4 empl) I use Public Contacts to share the company-wide adresses. 1 person takes care of this list. I configured their Outlook 2003 clients to first look in this folder and added this folder to their addressbook. Works perfect.
Problem: in webmail (owa) they are able to view the public folder, but they cannot use is for sending mail like in Outlook 2003 client (they only can choose between Contacts & General Addresses). This is very important for them, cause 3 of the 4 work a lot from outside.Using 'General Addresses' (translated from Dutch) seems no solution for me, cause, by my knownledge, this list can only be generated by the system administrator (that's me), so this is not flexible.Anybody a solution for this?

The only solution without third party software is to find the contact in public folders and copy and paste. If you will look at third party software then the OWA Plus Pack from Messageware will do the job.
