Using the Address Book


The Windows Address Book is a handy way of keeping track of everyone's addresses. It also lets you assign simple names in place of complicated e-mail addresses. You can use the Address Book to store names and e-mail address information for those people you send e-mail to most often.

To add a new contact to the address book, follow these steps.

TIP

You quickly can add the name of anyone who sends you an e-mail to your Address Book by right-clicking his or her name and selecting Add Sender to Address book from the pop-up menu.


1.

From within Outlook Express, click the Addresses button on the toolbar. (You also can select Tools, Address Book.)

2.

When the Address Book window appears, as shown in Figure 9.8, click the New button and then select New Contact.

3.

When the Properties dialog box appears, select the Name tab (shown in Figure 9.9). Enter the first and last name of the new contact, as well as the name you want to show in the Address Book's Display. Now enter the person's e-mail address (or addresses). Click the Add button to register each new e-mail address.

TIP

If you type the first few letters of a contact's name in the To: or Cc: fields of a new message, Outlook Express will automatically fill in the rest of the contact's name and e-mail address from the Address Book.

4.

If you want to enter other information about the contact (street address, phone number, business info, and so on), select the appropriate tabs and enter the information.

5.

Click the OK button when done.

The contents of your Address Book appear in the Outlook Express Contacts list. Your contacts also will be available when you compose new e-mail messages.
