Viewing Global Address list in Entourage X

J

We have Exchange 2003 running in Native mode. Several Mac Clients who
upgraded from Outlook 2001 for Mac to Entourage X. We are not able to view
the global address list as we did in Outlook 2001 for Mac.

In the TO field for new emails, it pops up a list of users as you type in a
name. Under the "Directory Services" window we are able to search for names.
But we can not view an out-right list like in Outlook for Windows or 2001 for
Mac.

Is this an undocumented feature of Entourage? Was functionality removed
preventing this from happening?

Side note: What is the difference between Entourage 2004 and Entourage X?

That is correct. Entourage cannot browse the GAL.

Functionality wasn't removed...Outlook accesses an Exchange server in a
different manner from Entourage.

Microsoft continues to improve Exchange support in each version of
Entourage. Perhaps the next version will be able to browse the GAL. If this
is an important feature to you, make sure to write to Microsoft and let them
know.

Lots of tips and information about 2004 at <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/>.
Exchange support is vastly improved, provided you have a WebDAV-capable
Exchange server.

Entourage uses LDAP to access the GAL and it's searchable, but not
browsable.
Personnally, it doesn't make much of a difference to me sinceI usually
type a few letters in the search field to get to the person want.I
would never try to just browser through the thousands people listed
there (but I guess it depends on the size of you GAL).
