Addressbook when composing

[valankar]

Is there a way to bring up the addressbook when composing messages and select which recipients should be added to the message? This seems like a normal operation but I'm not sure how to accomplish it via SWA.

Today, when composing a new message, the user has two ways of zeroing in on the desired addresses in the To:/Cc:/Bcc: fields:

1) The "check names" icon will do a lookup into the Scalix system directory or the user's contacts and if there is a unique match between the partial names that have been typed into the To:/Cc:/Bcc: fields and entries in these address books, SWA will complete the addresses (e.g. you can type in "John Sm" into the To: field and check names will complete the address to "John Smith" if it exists in the system address book or contacts). If the partial names typed in match multiple results in the directory, then the user is presented with a list of names to choose from.

2) SWA also offers its own address caching capability. If you've previously addressed to a user, then that user's name/email address is automatically remembered by SWA. Next time, you try to address to this user, the name gets displayed automatically and it gets filled in by pressing ';' or tabbing.

In future release, Scalix Web Access with have a third option for addressing and that will be the ability to lookup the system directory or contacts by brining up an address book that gets displayed when a user click on the To:/Cc:/Bcc: buttons.
