Microsoft Outlook is the name of a software program that combines your e-mail, calendar, meetings/appointments, contacts, address book and tasks. The calendaring function in Outlook will replace Meeting Maker this summer. At globalguideline, Outlook/Exchange is called the globalguideline Connect Service. Exchange is the server and Outlook is the client installed on each users workstation.

If you highlight any email address and right click it, you will get a context menu. On that menu select Add email address to contact list.
When in the Contact window, you might have several contacts. There is one address book in your Personal Folder and there is one for main Mailbox, which also will be available to you in the Web client. So your address book can follow you.

To ensure a smooth transition, everyone must be on Exchange prior to June 1.
