How can I add a contact in my address book?

The address book is totally useless to me if I can't add people to it. There is currently no way to do and no place to go for instructions. Can someone please send comprehensible instructions on how to find and then open my personal address book or the address book and then collected it please tell me what's the difference between them? It is VERY non-intuitive.

Open the address book window.
You have a directory pane list down the left margin with your listed books?
If this is not the case, the menu bar, select View-Layout-directory pane.

In the directory pane, you can select the folder for one of your books.

To add a contact press on the new Contact button and fill in the form.

If you want to add a contact from an e-mail that you received, you need to work from the header of the Message or message open in a tab pane.
When you view the header of a received message, there will be a star to the right of the address of the sender. If the star is filled with color the contact is already in one of your books. Clicking on a star not filled it will add to the personal address book
By clicking on a color filled with stars will open the edit contact dialog box where you can add details to the contact or change the book it is saved in.
This isn't the same star to the left of the subject line of message in the Inbox.

The two default address books are staff and collected books.
The personal book is for contacts you add and use it as the main book.
The collected book collecting the addresses of people you send an email to.

You can move contacts from one book to the other drag-and - drop contact.

There is what is called the Contact side bar that sits in the window of writing. If yours does not appear when you open a window writing press F9 to switch on.
From the sidebar of Contact you can add contacts to your e-mail.
You can double-click a contact to add to an address field.
You can drag and drop a contact to an address field.
If you add more than one contact to an e-mail you hold down the CTRL key while clicking on all of the contacts you want and then use one to add it to: buttons at the bottom of the sidebar.

You can also start a contact by typing in one of the address fields and Thunderbird will offer suggestions to your address books. This method has been a bit buggy in the latest versions so watch this closely to ensure that you get the contact that you thought that you have selected.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Can not add more contacts to the address book

    Please I need help with this question

    Thank you

    While there is no limit on how many contacts you can have on your device, there is a soft limit that you can have as many times as the memory of your device can handle. Check the available memory to see if you have any remaining space. If this isn't the case, then consider cleaning out / uninstallation of some things that you don't need to increase the memory available to more contacts.

    I think you're overthinking this.

    There is an entry for the country to each address, so all you need to do is fill it out if necessary.

    I'm in Portugal, while most of the addresses mentioned no country, which means that they are national. My daughter lives in the United Kingdom, so his speech looks like this:

    Switch to the contacts window by clicking the address book at the foot of the pane or by pressing Ctrl-3 records. The commands you need to add and edit the contacts are both on the Ribbon or on the context menu.

  • How can I add a second e-mail address for this computer

    I added a second gmail address for my wife on this computer.
    How can I access this address and add it to the menu bar that appears in the Inbox for my address?

    You should be able to add using a method similar to the way in which you added your own.

    If you talk about the opening of two accounts at the same time.
    You may have problems if you then try to open two accounts at the same time. It can open a window for the connected account. If this is a problem, try maturation of the second account, using private browsing (PB).

    If you're talking about only the possibility to use the auto form fill then all you need to do is enter the relevant text and use once and it will appear in the future. You must save the story and not be in PB for this to work. (So you can take the problem because of the workaround above and used only account of your wife in PB).

  • How can I add a map page in photo books that will show destinations with arrows like iPhotos used to do?

    In iPhotos, you can create a page of book that showed cards with your travel destinations. The kids loved because they can now see to what extent they traveled. This feature doesn't seem to be transported on the photos App updated. Can anyone explain why?

    You can add a map with markers places, but arrows like in iPhoto or Aperture are perhaps not available, because the pages with arrows caused constant crashes in iPhoto, who knows.

    As a workaround: you could create a map with location markers page and print the page in PDF format, and then draw the arrows in preview on the map and import the page map of pictures as a photo.  Add this photo to the photo book full page.
