Figure 4.3 The Kontact Address Book
4.3.1 Adding Contacts
To add a contact with the name and e-mail address from an e-mail, right-click the address
in the mail component and select Open in Address Book. To add a new contact without
using an e-mail, select File → New Contact in the address component. Both methods
open a dialog in which to enter information about the contact.
In the General tab, enter basic contact information, such as name, e-mail addresses,
and telephone numbers. Categories can be used to sort addresses. Details contains more
specific information, such as birthday and spouse's name.
If your contact uses an instant messenger, you can add these identities in IM Addresses.
If you do this and have Kopete or another KDE chat program running at the same time
as Kontact, view status information about these identities in Kontact. In Crypto Settings,
enter the contact's encryption data, such as public key.
Misc has additional information, such as a photograph and the location of the user's
Free/Busy information. Use Custom Fields to add your own information to the contact
or address book.
