Hello all,
I'm having a problem with shared address books. I have an address book, called "Faculty-Staff" which is shared with all users. They see it fine if they go into the Address Book section, and can browse through it with no problems.
If instead they click on the "To" or "Cc" buttons in the compose window, they cannot. The Global Address book shows fine, but if you change "Show names from" from "Global Address List" to "Personal and Shared Contacts" it does not show entries from that shared "Faculty-Staff" address book - only non-shared contacts folders and "Emailed Contacts".
Is there any way to have the shared address book show up or be searchable in this window?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide. I apologize if this has been asked/answered but I have not found it through searching on the forums as of yet.
Forgot to mention - we're on 5.0.5 but I'll be upgrading to 5.0.6 later to fix another issue.

You should be able to type in:folder or tag:whatever - there's some RFE's open on browsing that I think if you'd like to search bugzilla.

Wait I see what you're saying - sharing is a factor (thought you just wanted to know how to view specific folders) let me test a sec.

Sry got sidetracked, works fine 5.0.6_GA_2313 or 5.0.7_GA_2351

Let me know after you upgrade to 5.0.6 if you need me to retest with groups/public shares so we can get a bug filed.

Thank you Mike - I'll do so tonight/tomorrow morning after the upgrade.

It seems to be working perfectly on 5.0.6. Thanks for looking into it! I'm marking this as Solved.
