Read up on the ldap feature, it works for a global address book. We are a school district that has 1400 employees and with ldap in place we can use the ldap feature to find any teacher on names contains any portion of their name as well as e-mail an entire building (organization) department (organizational unit) or any combination.
Example, if someone wants to e-mail all 3rd grade teachers at a particular building they can do it using the ldap server in imail. Also allow you to keep it up to date centrally when adding/removing accounts. In my mind, much better and more usable than a standard global address book. oh, and is an online phone directory for us as well. bob On Tuesday, June 3, 2003 7:55 AM, Jim Bruner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I am just wondering when IPSwitch is going to include an global address book >feature in their product.
