From the Contacts section of the webmail tool, you can store contact details, add Contact Lists and share them with others. Only a name is required to create a contact, or you can create detailed contact forms that include full name, multiple email addresses, work / home / other addresses, phone numbers, an image, and so forth. You can also create Contact Groups (otherwise known as distribution lists). The Emailed Contacts list is populated automatically when you send an email to a new address that is not in one of your other address books. Your email administrator might set a maximum limit for the number of entries you can have in all your Contact Lists. When you reach this maximum, you cannot add any more contacts.
We have included step-by-step instructions below on tackling the most common webmail Contact tasks (see them listed directly to the right). Click on a feature description (e.g., Adding a New Contact) and it will allow you to jump to specific instructions below. Then, click the browser back button to return to the top of the page.
