Working With Company E-mails 79
8.4 Finding Contacts in the Company Directory
In addition to having contacts on your device, you can access contact information from your company’s
Global Address List (GAL). GAL is the address book that contains all user, group, and distribution list e-mail
addresses of your organization, and it is stored on the Exchange Server. By having direct online access to it
from your device, it is quick and easy for you to plan a meeting and e-mail a meeting request immediately to
anyone in your company.
Requirement Access to the GAL is available only if your company is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003
SP2 or higher, and you have completed your first synchronization with the Exchange Server.
1. Synchronize with Exchange Server if you have never done so.
2. Do any of the following:
• In Contacts, tap Menu > Company Directory.
• In a new e-mail message, tap the To box (or tap Menu > Add Recipient) then tap Company
Directory.
• In a new meeting request using Calendar, tap Attendees and then tap Company Directory at the
top of the list.
3. Enter the part or full contact name and tap Search. In the search results list, tap a contact to select it.
Notes • You can save a contact from the Company Directory to your device by selecting the contact then tapping Menu
> Save to Contacts.
• You can search on the following information as long as that information is included in the Company Directory:
First name, Last name, E-mail name, Display name, E-mail address, or Office location.
