MicrosoftHey Gregory. It hasn't been deprecated, it is still technically supported. Candidly though, we haven't invested in this functionality in several years. Have you considered simply adding them as contacts in your Global Address List, so that everyone can access them if they'd like?

Thanks for your candid response, they are always the best!
