How can I search through my Contacts automatically with the Address Book when using Kerio Outlook Connector?
You want Outlook to display your public contact folder while you are composing a new email.
- Launch Outlook.
- Right-click on your contact folder and left-click on "Properties"
- Select the "Outlook Address Book" tab.
- Check the box "Show this folder as an email Address Book"
- Click "Ok"
You should now be able to search through your contact folder when composing an email.
Additional considerations
Contacts that do not contain email addresses will not be visible when you compose a new email.

- Log into the Kerio MailServer Administration Console.
- Go to Domain Settings > Users
- Select the user accounts you wish to add to the public contact folder. Use the CTRL or SHIFT keys to select multiple user accounts.
- Click on the Publish button.
- Select the appropriate public contact folder.
- Click on the Publish button.
- Click on the Close button.
