In Outlook 2003 (just upgraded) using Cached Mode, I notice that I can no
longer address emails with a simple, normal name (e.g., "john doe"), even
though that name exists in the Global Address List. (Previous Outlook
versions allowed this when synching to an offline folder was enabled.) Now
when I attempt to address an email with the "FirstName LastName" format in
the To box, I get a dialog stating that "Microsoft Office Outlook does not
recognize "john doe" " . This only happens when Cached Mode is enabled.

Am I faced with a choice here: I can have cached mode enabled, or I can use
the FirstName LastName addressing format, but not both? Is Cached Mode the
only way to sync to an offline folder in Outlook 2003?

Thank you very much in advance for any help or advice.

It works fine for me. I suspect your client hasn't successfully downloaded
the OAB (Offline Address Book), or you've done something on the server side
that has messed up the OAB.
