We have a couple of contacts folders in Public Folders, and we would like
our users to be able to automatically resolve addresses from them as well as
from the GAL. 

Per Q161851 we should have them add the desired contacts folders to their
service addressing folders list.  I found that once I checked "Show this
folder as an email address book" in that public folder's properties, it
showed up in the "Tools > Services > Addressing > Add" list, so I could
select it as an additional source to search.  But I read in Q246692 that
these public folder contact searches are slow because they are sequential.

I could export them to pst's, and have the users open those, and then
presumably those would also show up in the list of addressing sources they
could select from.  But wouldn't searching pst's be slow too?

My other thought was to import them into the contacts folder of a mailbox,
and share it with everyone, but while I could get to that in a separate
Outlook window via File > Open > Other user's folder, I could not get it to
show up in my own Outlook folders, which I think I need to see it in "Tools
> Services > Addressing > Add" to add it to the search list.

Is there a way to accomplish my goal?

(Exchange 5.5/SP3 and Outlook 2000/SR1)

Thanks.
