Display Email Address or Name-Only or Both
Phylum <Phylum.3a053ce[ at ]outlookbanter.com> 12/30/2008 6:53:50 PM
Is it possible to configure Outlook to display the recipients email address in the TO, CC or BCC fields instead of just the name.
This 'feature' or 'option' would change the way all recipients show up in emails, whether they're pulled from the [personal] Contacts list or the Global Address List (GAL).

Consider the following scenario:
Currently when I compose an email and Outlook finds a match in the GAL and then displays the recipient in "FirstName LastName" format. Instead of just seeing the name, I'd like to have the option of showing the below:
The name and email address: "FirstName LastName firstname.lastname[ at ]domain"
OR
Just the email address: "firstname.lastname[ at ]domain"

This is an Exchange 2007 environment with clients using Outlook 2007 on Windows XP with SP3. -- Phylum

Add the e-mail addresses from the GAL to your contacts folder and configure
the display name accordingly.
