Sharepoint contact list and Outlook 2016

I have added a contact list app to my company SP Team site. I connect it to Outlook without any problem.

But when i create a new mail and start typing a contact from the SP list, Outlook doesnt lookup anywhere else than the personnal address book.

Is there a solution to this behavior please ?

  • Two things to check. In Outlook, click Address Book and from the drop-down menu, verify that you can see the SP-synced list. Apart from that, on the same dialog click Tools -> Options, select Custom, check whether the SP-synced list is shown there and if not, use the Add button to add it, then confirm.
