The Address Book

The address book is the place where you store the e-mail addresses you use most often. Emerald Mail supports multiple address books to easily organize your e-mail address.

The address book window is divided in two sections. On the left side is the list of the address books defined and the addresses stored in each address book. If you have a single address book it appears already expanded to see all addresses, otherwise if you have more that one address book, all books appears closed, you should click on the small plus sign to open a book and show its contents.

On the right side are placed the informations related to an address. You can store general informations such as the postal address and phone or fax numbers, the e-mail addresses and your notes about this address.

Adding an address

To add an address select the address book you want to store the address to and press the "New" button. The "New Address" dialog allows you to define the nickname of the new address. Nicknames are identifiers used to store the addresses in the address book. Clicking on the "Make it an address book" flag allows you to create a new address book with the name defined in the above field.

Press the "Ok" button and the new address (or address book) appears on the list. Please note that now you should edit the new address to add the e-mail informations.

Edit an address

To edit an address select the address you want to edit from the address list, make all the changes you need on the right fields and then press the "Save" button.

Delete an address

To delete an address select the address you want to delete from the address list and press the "Delete" button.

Sending messages

At the bottom of the address list are placed three buttons that allows you to create a new message or add an address to the last opened message compose window. Select an address from the list and press one of these buttons.

The "To" button adds the address to the "To" field of the message. The "Cc" button adds the address to the visible carbon copy list of the message. The "Bcc" adds the address to the blind carbon copy list of the message, blind carbon copies are normally not visible inside the header of the message received by the addressees.
