Searching for Campus Users in the Global Address Book in Microsoft 365 (Exchange)

Summary

How to search for users in the Global Address List in Outlook

Body

Find users in the Global Address List using Outlook on a PC:

  1. Select "New Email" in Outlook
  2. Click on the "To" button
  3. Make sure that the "Address Book" drop-down says "Global Address List" and NOT "Offline Global Address List," as this could show irrelevant or incorrect results.  

     
  4. Type in the user's first or last name, then click the arrow. This will populate all relevant results.
    Note: The campus Global Address List (GAL) in Microsoft 365 (Exchange) is organized and users will be listed by first and last name.


     
  5. Select the person you want to send to and click "OK". This will insert their email address in the "To" field.
