You can save your most commonly used email addresses, telephone numbers, and physical adresses in Netscape's Address Book as cards. You can also create more than one address book or group addresses into lists for sending email to more than one person.

To open the address book choose Address Book from the Window menu.

The left pane lists your directories, including your Personal Address Book and the UTS Staff Directory where you can find other UTS staff (see the FAQ under the headings "Configuring Netscape" and "How do I add the UTS Staff Directory to Netscape Mail and Newsgroups").

 

Cards

Netscape calls address entries cards, where you can not only enter email addresses but other information as well. To place a new entry into your Personal Address Book, select the Personal Address Direcotry, and click on the New Card button. 

The Card Entry box appears allowing you to enter information into three sections selected with tabs: Name, Contact, and Notes. 

At the minimum, cards need to have a name and email address entered.  When the card is completed click on the OK button.

Address Book can remember nicknames, so that when you send an email address to someone who you've created a card for with the nickname "friend" for example, all you have to do is type "friend" in the recipient field and Mail and Newsgroups will automatically fill in the rest .
 

Lists

Address Book also allows you to create lists of email addresses. For example, if you are working on a project with several people in a work group, you can create a list called Project Team and list all the email addresses of everyone you want to include in the list. Whenever you want to send an email to all the people in that list, just type in Project Team as a recipient.

 

Tip...

You can also add cards to your address book by clicking on the email addresses in the messages you receive in Mail and Newsgroups.  Address Book automatically creates a new card and fills in the name and email address fields.
