Can I see the members of a mailing list in our company directory in Google Apps?
No, you can't view the members of a mailing list that was added to Google Apps.
Is there a way to automatically add new contacts based on people with whom I've corresponded?
Yes. Whenever you send an email message to someone, the Google Apps contacts manager adds that person's email address to your Most Contacted list. You can then select the addresses you want to add to your personal contacts, as follows: On the left of your Mail window, click Contacts, and then click Most Contacted. Select the addresses you want to add, and then click Move to Contacts.

Can I add a contact or contact group that's in the university's contacts list to my personal contacts?
Yes, if you've already sent email to the contact or group, you can quickly add it to your personal contacts:
- Open your Contacts list, and in the Search contacts field, start entering the contact's name or email address.
- When the contact appears, select it, and then click Move to My Contacts (above the contact's details on the right).
If you haven't yet sent email to a contact or group, you'll need to create a new contact and manually enter all the contact's information, including the email address.
Note: After you add a university contact to your personal contacts, you can add additional information to the contact's details. This information appears only in your personal contacts, not in the university contacts.
