41.5 Sending Mail from the Address Book

Use the context menu to send items from an address book. If you have opened the address book from the Main Window, the address book is not connected to an item view. You can send different types of compose items by right-clicking in the address book list.

  1. In the Main Window, click Address Book toolbar icon on the toolbar.

  2. Click an address book.

  3. Ctrl+click the users you want to send mail to.

  4. Right-click a selected contact in the list, and select New > <message type>.

  5. Compose and send your message.

If you only need to email one contact, there are two alternate options in addition to the context menu:

  • Double-click the contact in the address book list, and then click the email address in the dialog box that options. This will open the compose window.

  • Double-click the contact in the address book list, and choose Send <message type> from the Actions menu in the dialog box that opens.
