# Contacts

> Your WazobiaMail address book — save people, group them, import from other mail, and let compose find them for you.

# Contacts

The **Contacts** app keeps all the people you write to. It is the book the
composer reads from when you type a name, and it is the fastest way to reach
the right address on the right occasion. Open it from the **contacts** (book)
icon at the top of the left rail.

## Add a contact

1. Open Contacts and select **New contact**.
2. Fill in at least the **name** and **email address**; phone numbers,
   company, title and notes fields are there when you need them.
3. Save. From now on the address appears while you compose — start typing the
   name in **To** and select the suggestion.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Suggestions while composing also include a directory your administrator may
> have connected — people inside your organisation appear even if nobody saved
> them by hand.

## Groups

Make a **group** (list) for people you write to together — the team, the class,
the project:

1. In Contacts, choose **New group**.
2. Give it a name and pick the members.
3. When composing, type the **group name** in the To field; every member is
   expanded or kept in one line, your choice at send time.

This replaces keeping dotted address lists in a notes file. Groups update
automatically when a member's address changes — fix it once in Contacts and
everyone notices.

## Import from another mailbox

Moving over from Gmail, Outlook or old webmail? Most apps export contacts as a
CSV or vCard file:

1. In the other app, export the contacts (often under "Export" or
   "Download a copy").
2. In Contacts choose **Import** and select the file.
3. Check the preview — names, addresses and numbers are lined up with the
   right fields — and confirm. Duplicates can be merged afterwards.

## Keep your data tidy

* **Edit a card** any time — the changes apply everywhere suggestions appear.
* **Merge duplicates** when two cards belong to one person.
* **Export** the whole book (CSV/vCard) to keep a backup or move somewhere else.
* **Print** a group card for a wall or a wallet.
* **Delete** with a confirm — deleted cards can be re-imported but not
  restored by support.

## From card to email

Every contact card has a mail button — open it and the composer starts with
that address already filled in. Details such as phone numbers and notes stay on
the card, so you never need the source message again.
