This is kind of off topic but can any one tell me how to import mail address from the ad into outlook address book?

I am taking some things down so i want to just pull all my address down on my blackberry for the little time that i will not be able to access the ad

By 'ad' you mean Active Directory? As in the GAL (Global Address List)?

well i just am looking for the address and i have been looking into importing the GAL but it is unclear to me to i was wondering if there was a way to just pull the information out of the ad
But yes GAL to your question

this is my own small new work i am just playing with some things to learn new ways of doing things but every thing is real i do have address and mail boxes on these address.

I've found that using the Lookup option from the Address Book menu allows my users to add GAL entries to their local Address Book (which will then synch to Outlook Contacts).

Once the Lookup search results are displayed, you can select the person and choose Add from the menu to have them permanently added to your address list.

Hope this helps!

Thanks
that is good from know but if i add more people i would hate to have to click each name one by one
but i have found that you can import the GAL into excel know all i have to do is figure out how to get that into my address box
but that was helpful

You can import the excel file right into Outlook (might actually have to save it as a .csv first), which will then sync with your device....just have to know the column names and use the Import wizard in Outlook.

*nods* yep - what the BBBA said!

I read your first post as asking how to get the addresses at the handheld:

i want to just pull all my address down on my blackberry

rather than how to dump them en masse to Outlook Contacts at the desktop ;)
