About the Address Book


Use an address book to store and maintain information about individuals and to create mailing lists and nicknames.

After creating entries in an address book, you can use address book entries to look up information about your personal contacts, such as email addresses and phone numbers.

Use the Address Book window to create, store, and edit address book entries. An address book entry stores names, postal addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and other information about an individual, such as whether the recipient prefers plain-text or rich-text messages.

You can also use an address book to associate a number of email addresses with a single nickname, which becomes a mailing list.
