Contacts Groups
The simplest way to organize contacts is to create additional address books. You can create a new
one by clicking File > New > Address Book. For contacts groups on your computer, you only need
to provide a name. For contacts on the network, you need to provide more information about the
contacts server you are trying to access.
To move a card from one group to another, just drag it from the main display of contacts. You
cannot change the contents of most network contact groups.
NOTE:
Contacts groups are not the same as contact lists. A contacts group is like a folder or address book
full of contacts. A contact list is a single contact that contains other contacts, and is most often used to e-mail
several people at once.
Importing Contacts
You can import contacts from other contact management tools with the Import tool.
1
Click File > Import.
or
Mail yourself a contact as vCard attachment.
Currently VCF and LDIF are supported. CSV and TAB format files are supported from
Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird, Mozilla, and Evolution.
Creating a List of Contacts
A contact list is a set of contacts with a single nickname that you create. When you send e-mail to
the nickname, it is sent to every member of the list. This differs from a network mailing list in that
it exists only on your computer as a convenience to you, rather than as an actual e-mail address
managed by a mailing list application on a server.
For example, you could create one card for each family member, then add those cards to a contact
list called “Family.” Then, instead of entering each person’s e-mail address individually, you can
send e-mail to “Family” and the message would go to all of them.
To create a list of contacts:
1
Open the list creation dialog box by clicking the New List button.
or
Click File > New > Contact List.
2
Specify a name for the list.
3
Specify the names or e-mail addresses of contacts.
or
Drag contacts from the main window into the list.
4
Choose whether you want to hide the e-mail addresses when you send a message to the list.
Unless it is a very small list, it is recommended that you leave the addresses hidden. This is
the same thing as using the “Bcc:” feature discussed in
“Specifying Additional Recipients for
E-Mail” on page 39 .
5
When you are finished, click OK.
