Checking Names

Outlook Web Access can match partial names typed in recipient boxes to their corresponding e-mail aliases, but only if the partial name is unique. For example, if the address list contains the aliases john and johnny, and you typed john, the name john is not completely matched. This is because both john and johnny could be matched to john.

If you attempt to send a message to one or more recipients who can not be matched to an e-mail alias, the Check Names dialog box will appear. For each unresolved name, you will have the choice of deleting the name from the list of recipients (the person will not receive your message) or selecting a similar name that Outlook Web Access has found in the Address Book.

• To delete the unresolved name, select Delete this recipient from the list, and then click OK.
• To specify the recipient, under Change to, select one of the names, and then click OK

Tips  To verify recipients' names at any time, on the toolbar, click the Check Names button. A maximum of 100 names will be returned for you to select from. If you don't see the intended recipient, refine the name you originally typed.
