Search Exchange for Email Addresses

This foxed me for ages! How to search if an email address already exists in Exchange. I tried going through Active Directory and various search options, but no joy. Then after a while, the penny finally dropped! Stick the email address in Outlook (Compose a New Message and stick address in 'From' field) and hit 'Check Name'. If the email address is already assigned to somebody or a distribution list, the name will pop up straight away!

This is a simple one, but still might help someone out there who doesn't know!
