Having consistent profile names isn't a requirement, it just makes it
potentially easier, because you don't have to put up the Choose Profile
dialog for the user.
Another approach is to use a custom mail form to "announce" a contacts
folder to users and run a script behind the form to do the necessary work.
If you want to see a sample, go to the URL in my signature and download the
sample code from the 'get the code' link on that page. Listing 23.1 is a
sample form that uses the ShowAsOutlookAB property to add a contacts folder
to the address book. If you also want it in PF\Favorites, you can use the
AddToPFFavorites method as well.
