| − | To use this feature, simply click the blue "To:" link to access your address books. Then, in the "Find:" box, type in the exact portion of a person's name and search. Either their first or last will work best. If you do not see anything displayed for a name you know exists, you may need to choose which address books you want Webmail to display which is done by choosing an address book in the "from" dropdown option. Note that this system does not recognize nicknames - if the person's name is Robert in the system, typing "Bob" will probably not work.
