I know that I can set the option to request for a Read Receipt for all messages or to set it on a per-message basis. However, I only want to set it when sending to certain people.

For instance, I only want to request a Read Receipt when sending to my boss, the HR department and some project managers.

Is there a way to have Outlook automatically ask for a Read Receipt if an email is sent to a specific email address rather than needing to set this manually?

For several contacts, the Notes field contains an overview of which fields have been changed. It appears that this new information is coming from the Global Address Book (GAL) of our company's Exchange server.

While in general this is great, it creates some issues especially with synchronizing to my mobile phone due to the phone number formatting and the length of the Notes field.

Can I disbale this automatic updating of my contacts?
