Webmail's Contacts folders are useful for keeping track of email addresses, phone numbers, and other information for each of your contacts. To view your default Contacts folder, click Contacts in the navigation pane, or click the address book icon on the toolbar (in some themes). You can also select a specific contacts folder from your Folder List, or create a new contacts folder using the Folder Options. In some themes you can also create a new folder by clicking "+" in the folder list or right-clicking a folder and choosing the New Folder option.
In the LookOut or WorldClient theme, double-click a contact to open it for editing or viewing. In LookOut you can also hover the pointer over it to display a detailed preview of the contact, which also contains an Edit button to open it for editing. In the Pro theme, click the contact to open a preview of it with buttons to edit it, delete it, or open a shortcut menu containing other options such as: Copy, Send Message, or Send vCard. In the Lite theme, click the contact's name to open it. If you don't have editing permission for the contact folder, the contact will be displayed with the save option and editing fields disabled. In all themes but Lite you can right-click a contact to open a shortcut menu with contact-related options.
You can search contacts by clicking Search in the toolbar and typing the search criteria in the search field. When you cancel the search you will be restored to your normal, unfiltered contacts view.
