Opening another users mailbox if user is hidden from GAL

[theklone]

In Outlook 2003, if I go File -> Open -> Other User's Mailbox and type in the name of the hidden user I receive the error "Please select user accounts only.".

If I unhide the user from the GAL, update the GAL in Outlook and repeat the above steps it works fine. I then have to rehide the user.

Should it be possible to add a shared mailbox of a user hidden from the GAL without first unhiding them? Is this a bug?

Could you file that in bugzilla? I'm not a heavy ZCO user but just tried and couldn't find a way (.5/.6 connector against .6 server).

Don't know if you're still on 5.0.2 from profile but: 5.0.6 is out!
