Using Contacts


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.
