The Address Book stores information about users, resources, and organizations. You can use the Address Book to search for information or to add e-mail addresses to an item you are composing.
The Address Book consists of the GroupWise system address book, one or more personal address books, the Frequent Contacts address book, and possibly shared address books and LDAP address books.
GroupWise System Address Book: You have one GroupWise system address book. The system address book includes all users who have a GroupWise Mailbox in your organization. You cannot modify the system address book. Use this address book to view information about everyone in your GroupWise system, select names to send an item to, and create and modify groups.
Personal Address Books: You can have multiple personal address books. By default, GroupWise WebAccess provides one predefined personal address book with your name as the title. You can use your personal address book to add e-mail addresses and information for users, resources, or organizations that are not defined in the system address book. When you create multiple address books, you can include the same name and address in several books. If the entry is copied from an address book and you edit the entry’s information in one book, it is updated in all books.
Frequent Contacts Address Book: You have one Frequent Contacts address book. Your most frequently and most recently used addresses are automatically added to this book. Any recipients of items sent in the WebAccess client are added to the Frequent Contacts address book. In addition, addresses added by the Windows GroupWise client also appear in the GroupWise WebAccess Frequent Contacts address book. After an entry is placed in Frequent Contacts, it remains there until you delete it. The entry also remains in its original address book. Although the Frequent Contacts address book is created by GroupWise, it is considered a personal address book because you can edit the information for contacts.
Shared Address Books: In the Windows version of the GroupWise client, users can share address books with other users. In GroupWise WebAccess, you cannot share an address book with other users, but you can receive shared address books. When you accept a shared address book, it appears in your Address Book list along with your system address book, personal address book, and Frequent Contacts address book.
