Viewing address book addresses when sending new mail

It can be helpful to use your personal address book (on Webmail) and the address book with all �鶹��Ƶ addresses in it when sending new E-mail messages.

To use this feature, simply type part of a person's name or E-mail address into the "To" field and their E-mail address should appear automatically, as shown above. 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. Note that this system does not recognize nicknames - if the person's name is Robert in the system, typing "Bob" will probably not work.

Choosing address books to display

1. On the left navigation bar in Webmail, select "Options". Select "Address Book" once it pops down from the menu.
2. On the screen that appears, select "Address Books".

1. You will have the opportunity to choose which address books you want use when sending new messages.
2. Select "Save Options".
