An address book is almost like the traditional\naddress book for phone numbers. However, email address books have the\nability to create a new email message that can be edited to send to a\nperson or more than one person. The key components of an entry for an\nemail contact are the following.<\/p>\n<ul>\n\t<li><p style=\"margin-right: 3.2cm; background: transparent\">Name<\/p><\/li>\n\t<li><p style=\"margin-right: 3.2cm; background: transparent\">Email\n\taddress<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.5cm; margin-right: 12.2cm; background: transparent\">\n<br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.5cm; margin-right: 3cm; background: transparent\">\nAdditional information may be added, too, depending on the layout of\nthe address book. Most often, there is a separate format for the name\nfor sorting purposes. The field for the last name comes before the\nfield for the first name.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.5cm; margin-right: 12.2cm; background: transparent\">\n<br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.5cm; margin-right: 4cm; background: transparent\">\nAn example of an address book is shown below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.5cm; margin-right: 4cm; background: transparent\">\nIt is a Thunderbird Address Book example from the Internet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 12.2cm; background: transparent\"><br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<dl><dd>\n\t<table width=\"463\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n\t\t<col width=\"463\"\/>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td width=\"463\" height=\"365\" valign=\"top\" style=\"border: none; padding: 0cm\"><p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/computerbasicshub.net\/thunderbirdaddressbookexample.jpg\" name=\"Image1\" align=\"left\" width=\"455\" height=\"289\" border=\"0\"\/>\n<br\/>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/dd><\/dl>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 12.2cm; background: transparent\"><br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 12.2cm; background: transparent\"><br\/>\n<br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.6cm; margin-right: 2.9cm; background: transparent\">\n<b>Sending emails using Address Books<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.6cm; margin-right: 4cm; background: transparent\">\nEmails can be sent easily using address books. In an address book, an\nemail address can be represented by a name, usually the name is a\nperson\u2019s name. By clicking on a name in an address book, a profile\nnormally appears for the given name. The name\u2019s email address can\nbe clicked on to compose an email to the specified email address.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.6cm; margin-right: 12.2cm; background: transparent\">\n<br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.6cm; margin-right: 12.2cm; background: transparent\">\n<br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.6cm; margin-right: 12.2cm; background: transparent\">\n<b>Managing Address Book entries and editing names<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.6cm; margin-right: 2.9cm; background: transparent\">\nAny portion of an entry in an address book can be modified. As email\naddresses of contacts change, email addresses of contacts have to be\nchanged, too. Other contact information may need to be edited at\ntimes as well. Often, notes can be added and edited for a contact. It\nis a good idea to delete or modify contacts that have changed and\nbecome invalid or have been updated with a new email address. Also,\npersonal information of other people should not be included in an\naddress book contact entry. Personal information is more prone data\ntheft over the Internet. It is important to limit email contacts in\naddress books to trusted contacts. These include friends, relatives,\nco-workers and purposeful contacts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.6cm; margin-right: 12.2cm; background: transparent\">\n<br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.6cm; margin-right: 12.2cm; background: transparent\">\n<br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.6cm; margin-right: 2.9cm; background: transparent\">\n<b>Importing and exporting address books<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.6cm; margin-right: 2.9cm; background: transparent\">\nIn email clients, contact lists or address books can be imported from\na file or exported to a file. This is useful when an existing address\nbook needs to be preserved when uninstalling or repairing the email\nclient. Importing and exporting address books from email clients is\nlike importing and exporting web browser bookmarks. Address books of\na different email client can even be imported, too. You can even\nimport and export address books in a webmail environment, too. \n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.6cm; margin-right: 12.2cm; background: transparent\">\n<br\/>\n<br\/>\n\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.6cm; margin-right: 12.2cm; background: transparent\">\n<b>Address Book Basics of Various Email Services<\/b><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"page-break-inside: avoid\">\n\t<col width=\"105*\"\/>\n\t<col width=\"90*\"\/>\n\t<col width=\"61*\"\/>\n\t<tr valign=\"top\">\n\t\t<td width=\"41%\" style=\"border-top: 1px solid #040404; border-bottom: 1px solid #040404; border-left: 1px solid #040404; border-right: none; padding-top: 0.1cm; padding-bottom: 0.1cm; padding-left: 0.1cm; padding-right: 0cm\"><p>\n\t\t\t<b>Gmail<\/b><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>In Gmail, the address book is known as Gmail Contacts.
