.Mac Address Book


The .Mac Address Book is similar to the Address Book on your computer. You can synchronize the Address Book information on your Mac (see page 77) with the .Mac online Address Book, making your contact information accessible from any Internet-connected computer.

Open Address Book

There are two different links to access your Address Book information while you're in .Mac Mail on the web. Each link provides slightly different options, similar to the differences on your Mac between the Address Book application and the Address Book link found in the Mail application.

To open the actual Address Book:

Click the "Address Book" link in the navigation bar or Mail toolbar (circled below). The navigation bar link is available no matter which page of Mac.com you're working in. These links open the actual Address Book where you can add records, edit, and add names to your "Quick Address" menu (see below).

To show addresses from Address Book:

Click the "Compose" icon in the .Mac Mail toolbar to open a new message pane (below). In the new message pane, click the Address Book icon in the toolbar to access your Address Book data. You cannot add or edit address records here.

To address mail from the list:

In the "Destination" column, choose the address field in which you want that person's address to appear (To, Cc, or Bcc). At the bottom of the list, click the "Apply" button to return to the new message. The recipients' email addresses are automatically entered into the various address fields that you designated in the Destination menus.

Synchronize Your Address Book to .Mac

Using iSync (explained in greater detail on pages 6570), you can synchronize the Address Book information on your main computer to your .Mac Address Book so you always have access to current contact information, no matter where you are in the world.

The default in your .Mac Address Book preferences is checked on to allow for synchronization (as shown below). If for some reason you don't want it to sync, or perhaps it didn't work, check these preferences to make sure it's turned on or off according to your need.

If the box is unchecked, the .Mac Address Book will not sync; as soon as you check the box, it will immediately sync and update your contact list.
