appears). To enter a new contact, simply type the e-mail address, a "nickname" that will appear in the Contacts list, and the full name
of the person. You must fill out all three fields. Then click Add Contact.
To update a contact’s information, select the user’s name/address from the contacts pop-up menu. The information should
automatically appear in the fields. (If it does not, after selecting the entry from the pop-up menu, press the Select button next to the
menu.) Enter the new information and click Update Contact . In a similar fashion you can delete a contact by selecting the contact
from the pop-up menu and pressing the Delete Contact button.
As mentioned earlier, if you entered the Contacts window from the link in the Compose window, the three buttons - Insert into To:,
Insert into Cc:, and Insert into Bcc: - will allow you to transfer the contact information directly into the Compose window.
