1.3 Overview

The Resolve Recipient Names Web Service Protocol enables a client to retrieve a list of email addresses or contacts that are known to the server. The client can provide the full or partial name for the intended recipient. The server that is implementing the Resolve Recipient Names Web Service Protocol will return a list of matching or similarly named recipients. The client can then use those names when addressing items for the server to send. The server can return valid recipients that are known to it; for example, recipient names that are stored in a directory service or in a global or user-specific list of contacts.
