How do I perform a Global Address List (GAL) lookup from a Windows Mobile 5.0 phone?

A. Unlike earlier versions of mobile devices, which could view only local contact information, Windows Mobile 5 devices with the new Messaging & Security Feature Pack installed can query the Exchange Server 2003 GAL in a variety of ways. To find only contact information, perform these steps:

  1. From the Start menu, select the Contacts mobile applet.
  2. Select Find Online.
  3. Enter the name to search for, as the figure shows, and click Find.
  4. A list of matches will be displayed, from which you can select the desired contact.

To use the GAL when sending an email message when the To or Cc box is selected, click Add Recipient from the Menu. In the "Select a Contact" screen, select Find Online, then enter the name of the user and a list of matches will be displayed, from which you can select the appropriate name, as the figureshows
