Using the address book

The address book allows you to store the email addresses of people you may send email to. These are usually called your contacts.

The advantage of using the address book is that, once you have added a contact, you only need to click the contact’s details to add their address to an email. The address book also allows you to create groups (sometimes called distribution lists). These are useful when you need to send the same email to several people.

You can access the address book from your EasyMail Plus homepage or whenever you are creating messages by clicking the Address Book tab.

The address book shows two panels. On the left are three icons, used to access your individual contacts, groups and the directory.

	Click to view your individual contacts.
	Click to view groups.
	Click to view the directory (allows you to access email address stored on your school network).

The right-hand panel shows a table display your contacts. When you click the icons on the left, the table may also display your groups or the directory view. The directory is a list created by your school network administrator giving details of all users. You can use this to look for email addresses of people not already in your address book.

• Adding a contact to the address book.
