Sorry first because this problem does not relate to programing language. But I think developers is used to working with it.
In my Outlook Address Book, I see some contacts that have a globe icon next to it, but I dont know exactly what they mean.
I also searched on GG, and some of pepole said that they were custom recipients, i.e., their mailboxes were on some other system outside the Exchange organization...
I am not clear about that. So, I need to find Microsoft documents about this problem. But, I dont receive any right results.
If you got the similar issues, please give me an advice! I need MS document about "globe" contact to answer my questions: Does they exist on AD or Exchange? How to find them?...
They're contact objects in AD. Exchange doesn't store any data you see in the GAL.

So I am currently working on this project and I am confused on how to tackle this issue I am having.
I am creating this website that will go behind the scenes and input the data the user is providing us with and checking to see availability on various websites. I am confused on how the logistics of this would work. Would it make more sense to use API's rather than create maybe a bot (I don't even know if this would work) or even if there was a way to code it in myself.
A similar platform to what the general idea behind what operations would be used is vaccines.gov where the system will display the availability of vaccines nearby (a value inputted by user is zipcode). I just need to be pushed in a general direction as I am unsure how to approach this.
Thank you!
Apologies for posting a basic question and not a detailed programming problem! Alas, IBM send people here for BlueMix support.
We're evaluating different AI Bots, and with Watson what we want to do, I think, is use Alchemy to analyze our web site, and have a chat bot that can answer random questions using general knowledge as well as what Alchemy has learnt from our site.
But, I can't find an example of how to hook up Alchemy to a chat bot. Could any of you point me in the right direction? I'll try to come back with more difficult questions another day!
I think, is use Alchemy to analyze our web site, and have a chat bot that can answer random questions using general knowledge as well as what Alchemy has learnt from our site.
There is two ways to do this.
You can create a controller that sits in front of Alchemy API + Dialog. The user talks to the controller and it sends the information to Dialog. Dialog can then request a lookup to the controller. This option is only useful if you don't expect Dialog to be maintained at a later date (or you are using earlier versions of WEA).
The better option is to use the FUNCTION call within Dialog. This will allow you to talk to a third party system and get information back to work with.
Once you have your data returned, you can use your tags or keywords within the returned data to activate a particular process flow using SEARCH.
One thing to be aware of is that depending on the answer you need to determine how to present it.
If your corpus is stored as conversational, then you can use the content as-is. If it is stored from documentation, then you should have Dialog talk as if it is reviewing the content and coming back with an answer. The latter should be visible in a way that distinguishes it as separate from the conversation.
I have a situation where I need to obtain the 15 digit (character) Id and field name for all the individual fields in my custom component. I haven't had much luck searching the web or forum - at least not anything significant enough to aid me in my quest.
I am new to Salesforce and Apex, bur I suspect there is probably some function that one can call to get this information, but haven't been able to find it.
I would appreciate it if some enlightened Salesforce guru could point me in the right direction, either with a code snippet or a web site that explains the process in enough detail that I can figure it out.
Thanks

If you just need to get them as a one off you can copy them straight from the URL as you work through the setup pages. They will have the 00N key prefix, which is a CustomFieldDefinition.
To stay completely in Apex you can use the Schema.DescribeFieldResult. You can also get a map with all the fields for an sObject.
Incidentally, there is a dedicated Salesforce StackExchange site for Salesforce questions.
I am currently designing a reviews site for video games similar to gamespot am wondering where and if there is an online database that contains information such as name, publisher, release date etc with an API. I dont really want to have to enter each title manually or let users enter the title manually.
Where do these large sites get information like this? I wouldn't think it would be manually. I know for movies IMDB exists.
How would I go about adding it to my database?
Thanks
May I point you to web scraping?
Be sure to read the section legal issues and on well-behaved bots.
There's always Amazon and their product advertising API. Some older, but interesting code snippets can be found on this page.
If you know Perl, there is an amzing module called WWW::Mechanize
Pretty much you can write a script to get to any website and grab any data you need.
So for example you can go to www.gamespot.com, get list like the one below and put them in your database.
http://www.gamespot.com/games.html?platform=1029&mode=all&sort=views&dlx_type=all&sortdir=asc&official=all&tag=games%3Bfooter%3Bmore
I am developing a basic yet highly customized CRM for a small training centre which has the ability to store student records and also send emails to them. I'm using SwiftMailer following this excellent tutorial in CakePHP to accomplish the sending part.
Of course, students are sometimes going to reply to emails and I'd like to retrieve them within my CRM and store them along with the student record.
However, I cannot find a single reference to doing this. I've tried the following Google searches: "receiving email cakephp" , "retrieving email cakephp" and even "email client cakephp" but all of these queries give results relating to sending mail rather than receiving it -- very frustrating!
Finally, I broadened my search to non-cake solutions and found someone recommending a library called ezComponents. It doesn't seem to have had any active development for about a year, but it includes an email receiving class which is exactly what I want. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to add this to CakePHP and the only post I've been able to find on the entire web on the matter doesn't exactly go into much detail. It's certainly not a step-by-step tutorial on using ezComponents on CakePHP like the SwiftMailer tutorial I mentioned above.
I also found a class on Google Code called php-imap which looks like it would do the job but, again, I haven't the slightest clue how to get it working happily in Cake like SwiftMailer is.
I realize that I may have to learn how to package classes for use in Cake by myself but I'm asking this question first on the off-chance that there is already a Cake-friendly solution to this problem that I just haven't realized :-)

Thanks to everyone for your answers, but I've been doing some more searching and it looks like the solution is actually incredibly simple.
Basically, with the help of a plugin, I can set up the mail server in databases.php as a datasource and then write a Model and Controller to interact with it.
Here's the example I found: https://github.com/kvz/cakephp-emails-plugin
Edit: the repo has been deprecated and is now available at https://github.com/kvz/deprecated/tree/cakephp-emails-plugin
You will want to pipe your email to PHP and use stdin:// to read the contents of the email and add the e-mail to your database.
I've done this with cake and the simplest way is to make a Cake console application to handle the parsing. Also using cpanel's account level filtering to generate the pipe is really simple.

Sounds like you want to include SwiftMailer as a Cake plugin, amirite?
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1111/Plugins
-- if you want to package it yourself. Otherwise, a cursory search of the Bakery yielded this result:

Hopefully it will at least get you pointed in the right direction. HTH. :)
