Managing Contacts
Use the Contacts page to store information about all the people with whom you communicate using E-mail, ICQ™ and pagers.

The Contacts Page uses Nicknames as an association for E-mail addresses (me is much easier to remember than something like my_address@host.domain). You can compose a message and select several Nicknames to be added to the recipient list of your message. (See Addressing Your Message). You can also specify ICQ™ and pager numbers to which you can E-mail messages.

Click on Contacts in the menu bar to open the Contacts page.
