IUP I-Mail Address Book/Contacts Help:


The I-Mail Interface allows you to manage an address book using a contacts folder browser, where you can store contacts and contact groups. The standard-based vCard storage format is compatible with any standard-based vCard client.



By default every IUP I-Mail account has an "I-Mail Address Book".  This address book, which could also be called a contacts folder, is accessible and manageable via the folders view.  It can also be accessed using the Address Book feature in the Compose page. 

NOTE:
This folder cannot be deleted or renamed.

 

Creating and Editing Contact Items in your "I-Mail Address Book"

To manage your contacts and groups in your I-Mail Address Book, click on the "I-Mail Address Book" link from the Folders view (initial screen after login).
 
 
New Contact


Click the New Contact button on the contacts folder browser page to create a new Contact Item in your I-Mail Address Book.

The Contact Composing page contains entry fields for Contact Item elements. Fill all or some fields and click the Save Contact button.

When you need to enter several Contact Items, click the Save and Open New button to save the current Contact Item and to create a new Contact Item without returning to the Contacts browser page.
