Move Emailed Contact to Contacts List
Adding a New Contact from an Existing Email Message
When you compose an email, the auto-complete feature displays a list of names from your address books that match the text you are typing. When you receive a message, you can add the contacts listed in the email message to your contact list.
The Emailed Contacts address book is populated automatically when you send an email to a new address that is not in one of your other address books. You can disable this feature by going to Preferences, then clicking the Address Book tab. In the Options area, remove the check from Add new Contacts to "Emailed Contacts."
Add a New Contact to Address Book
- Open the email message. The header is displayed in gray at the top of message in the Detail pane. You can add email addresses from the Sent By, To, Cc, and Bcc fields.
- Hover your mouse over the name or email address of the contact you want to save. Right-click (or Ctrl+click on the Mac) the name to add it to your contact list and click Add to Contacts.
- The New Contact form opens pre-populated with the information that was available in the email header. Add additional information and check the pre-populated fields for accuracy.
- Click the File As arrow to select how you want to file the name. The default is to file the contact by last name then first name but you have other options. Choose the one that works best for you.
- Click the Address Book arrow to select the address book where you want to save the name.
- Click Save on the toolbar.
