If the mailbox is hidden from the Global address list, it will not show in Outlook's address book, and will not populate in the "To" field if you draft a new message.
But despite the mailbox being hidden, if Outlook directory sync is enabled in Front, the hidden mailbox will appear in Front contacts.
Desired outcome: mailboxes hidden from the Global address list in Exchange should not sync to Front contacts, or there should be a switch to either sync them or not.
