Adding contacts

The process of adding contacts to your address book will vary depending on your webmail client of choice:

• Roundcube
• Webmail Classic
  
  

Roundcube

To add an email address and its display name (if such is added by the sender) to your address book when reading a message, you should click on the email address and select the Add to address book option from the menu that appears in the Elastic theme or click on the Add to address book icon next to the email address in the Larry theme.

Additional details on the process are available in the Viewing Emails and Attachments article from Roundcube's official documentation.

You can also create new contacts from scratch by following these steps:

1. Open the Contacts task from the main menu.
2. Click on the Create button from the top toolbar in the Elastic theme or the + button from the footer of the contacts list in the Larry theme.
3. Enter the main details for the contact (picture, names, organization, etc.) in the top part of the contact details section. The lower part of the section allows you to add other information for the contact in three tabs - Properties (e-mail, phone, address, website, IM), Personal information (gender, birthday, etc.), and Notes.
4. Click on the Save button to create the contact.

Additional details on how to create new contacts  is available in the Creating and Editing Contacts article from Roundcube's official documentation.
