Step 1: Turn browser support on.

In order for your users to submit their address books for the trusted senders list you must turn browser support on. This will also be required when dealing with spam in the next tutorial..

Step 2: Turn spam filters on.

These are the settings used here, they're all pretty much self-explanatory.

Step 3: There's no email addresses in the list!

We have an empty list which means that incoming mail will all appear to be spam. What we have to do is import all users' address books so that the email addresses go into the list. This is very easy for the administrator as the users do all the work! Click on the button marked Get address books.

Step 4: Select whose address books you want imported.

We'll do our old pals andy and bob.

Step 5: Bob gets his email.

Bob then gets an email as shown here and clicks on the link - this will connect him with Office Mail and talk him through getting his address book into Office Mail. This part is not shown here as there isn't enough space, but it's easy enough.

Step 6: Bob's done it!

If Bob can manage it then so can your users. He imported 133 email addresses into Office Mail and now when any of his contacts sends him an email it will get through to Bob no problem.
