About contact management
FirstClass lets you store personal contact information, such as the email address, phone number, and street address of a friend. This information is stored in a personal address. Personal addresses provide a quick way to address messages to both people who aren't registered on your server and people who are, but whom you address, say, by nickname.
You can also create mail lists.
When you add personal addresses and mail lists, they are placed on the Contacts Folder tab and added to your personal view of the Directory.
 ExceptionsPersonal addresses aren't added to the Directory if they are lacking email addresses, or if your administrator didn't give you access to the contact management feature. If you don't have the contact management feature, you can still create personal addresses purely for reference.
The Contacts Folder tab shows contacts in an Index Card view that gives you immediate access to standard information, such as phone numbers, so that you can call someone without having to open their personal address form:
 From this view, you can delete a contact by clicking Delete on the contact's index card, or create a preaddressed message by clicking Create Mail To.
Controlling how you view personal address information
FirstClass supplies several versions of the form you use to add and store personal addresses. For example, if you are used to an Outlook or Palm personal address form, there are FirstClass forms that have a similar layout.
Choose the form you want to use in your viewing preferences.
