Contacts
You can use Webmail to store all your contact information online, and to send email messages to individuals or groups. You can also export your contacts for use with other email programs or devices.Creating a contact
When you create a new contact, you can fill in a nickname field. This sets up a shortcut so you don't have to type the address every time you want to send your contact an email. For example, instead of always typing john.brown.seneca@west.acme.com, you can enter the nickname John Brown in the "to" field when you compose an email.
To create a contact:
- On the Addresses page, click "create contact". A form for entering new contact information appears.
- Enter the new contact information.
- To include more details, click "Detailed View" and fill in the fields.
- Click "OK".
- The contact is created.
NOTE: When choosing a nickname for a contact, do not pick one that exactly matches the email address (or any other email address in your contacts list).
Editing a contact
To edit a contact:
- Go to the "Addresses" page and click on the contact you want to change.

Using Groups
You can create and edit groups of contacts, and use these to send messages in the same way as individual contacts. To use this feature:

- Click "OK".
