> # About Address Book

> Address Book is the contact management component of Sun Java™ System Communications Express. Using the Address Book, you can search for existing contacts and groups, manage contacts and groups, create contacts and groups of contacts sharing the same profile, activity, or organization, and import or export contact information between Sun Java System Communications Express, Microsoft Outlook and Netscape address books.

> From the Address Book page you can:

> - Add, sort, edit, delete and organize contacts and groups within an address book.
> - Send emails or view calendars of contacts listed in the address book.
> - Import or export the contact information from or to other address book formats for example Netscape Address Book, Outlook Address Book, or Sun ONE Address Book.
> - Search the corporate or a remote address books in addition to your own personal address book.
> - Print an address book.

> When you first select the Address Book tab, all the contacts and groups in your personal address book is displayed. You can later select an address book from the Current Address Book drop-down list to view contacts and groups in it. The Current Address Book drop-down list has your personal address book including your remote address books and the corporate directory of your organization.

> Note | The Select Action drop-down list, Delete, and Add to Personal Address Book buttons are disabled if you have selected to view the corporate or a remote directory from the Current Address Book drop-down list. The Add to Personal Address Book button and the drop-down list are enabled only after you have searched for contacts or groups in the corporate directory. On the other hand, the Select Action drop-down list and the Delete button is enabled when you choose to view the Personal Address Book from the Current Address Book drop-down list.

> Use the Address Book toolbar options mentioned in Table-1 to manage the repository of contact information. The table consists of three columns; the first lists the toolbar option, the second the icon for the option, and the third the purpose of this option.

> Note | The Address Book toolbar options are disabled when viewing contacts present in the corporate or a remote directory.
