I have added several contacts to AD but for some reason when I select the contact from my GAL in Outlook, their names appear but they have no email address associated with them. They just show as "Firstname Surname <>".
I added the email address to the mail field and checked it in the attribute editor.
We have a Exchange/O365 Hybrid solution.

Jakob Digranes, these users are Mailcontact users. They are set up as contacts only with their name and email address added. There are other contacts in the list that were there before I started at the company which work, i have replicated these users and added the new users information but for some reason the email address doesnt show up for the new people. I know its only a knowledge issue on my part as there is proof that it works but I need to know what I am missing.
TIA
