Public contacts

Configure Public Contacts to enable GFI FaxMaker to retrieve the recipient information in Microsoft Exchange environments.

NOTE

Configure Public Contacts when showing recipient information on cover pages or when using the email client to send faxes. If none of these are required, Public Contacts does not have to be configured.

Configure Public Contacts depending on your Microsoft Exchange version:

Microsoft Exchange 2010/2013/2016/2019

  1. Ensure that you have a working profile, configured as the default profile, to connect to your Microsoft Exchange Server.
  2. From GFI FaxMaker Configuration, right-click Advanced > Public Contacts and select Properties.
