INTRODUCTION

Rather than type a long e-mail name, which can be error-prone, you can create an address book of names and addresses. Then when you create a message, you can select the name from the Address Book rather than type it.

TIP

More Addresses

You can select additional recipients by selecting them and clicking To.

Contact List

By default, Outlook Express displays the Contacts list, which is a list of the names in your Address Book. You can double-click any of the listed names to create a new mail message, addressed to the person you double-clicked.

TIP

Cc and Bcc

You can select a name from the Address Book for Cc and Bcc by selecting a name and then clicking the Cc or Bcc buttons.
