6.3.1 Searching in address books via the MAPI interface

MS Outlook extended by the Kerio Outlook Connector enables searching through the MS Outlook

Address Book via the MAPI interface.

Outlook Address Book is a special directory allowing search email addresses where addresses

are filled in automatically. Addresses are filled in automatically for example when an address

is being specified during a new mail composition. Simply enter initial characters of the first

or second name string to the To:, Cc: or Bcc: entries to make the client search for matching

items and fill the address in automatically. If multiple email addresses matching the string are

found, a menu is opened where you can select from the options.

To avoid misunderstandings, the following terms must be explained:

Outlook Address Book — a special folder where MS Outlook looks up email addresses (e.g.

when addresses are filled in automatically or where email addresses are searched by first

or second names).

Unlike a contact folder, the address book does not include additional information to first

and second names and the corresponding email address. Address books are simple lists of

possible recipients of email, meetings and delegated tasks.

Contacts — the folder including user contacts. These folders can be private, public or it is

possible to subscribe a shared folder. Each contact item includes first name, second name

and additional info such as address, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, etc.

Address books do not include this information.

In MS Outlook, any contact folder can be added as a directory to Outlook Address Books. All

contact items included in the subscribed contact folders will then be searched through when

the function of automatic completion of email addresses is applied.

Once a contact folder is added, full names and an email addresses of all contacts included

in the particular folder are added to the address book. Other information associated with

contacts are not transferred to address books. It is not possible to search in contacts (address

book) for example by date of birth or department.

Warning: The search criteria is first and second names in contacts (the Full name item). It is

not possible to search by usernames or email addresses.
