Searching or Completing Addresses

Once you have configured Entourage to access the campus LDAP Directory Service (see Adding the LDAP Directory Service) or have added contacts to your address book, you can verify or search e-mail addresses when composing a new message.

To use the auto-complete option:

1. Compose a new e-mail message. (File > New > Mail Message) Entourage will auto-complete the name and e-mail address as you type in the To or CC field.
   
   
   Note: You can also check names by selecting the Check Names button. Entourage is good at searching by name but, not Andrew UserID.

To search for an email address:

1. Compose a a new e-mail message.
2. Click the Address Book button. (Entourage 2008)  (Entourage 2004)

2. Select New to add a new contact.
   
3. Enter as much information as you would like the mail program to use. You can select More to access additional information fields, including nickname. The first and last name display in the message, the nickname allows you to type something memorable, and the person's e-mail address is necessary.
4. Close the window and save the entry.

• Entourage 2008 - click the small arrow next to the New button and select Group.
  
• Entourage 2004 - select Add Group.

3. Enter a name for the group.
4. Position the cursor in the window and type the first name of the person you want to add to this group.
5. A list of names will appear. Choose the name from the list.
   
   Note: If the e-mail address you want to add is not an exisiting contact, type the full e-mail address in the field.
   
   
   
   
6. Continue adding names. When you are finished, close the window and save the entry.
