# Contact Manager Tools

The contact manager works with `Evolution` mail and the calendar to help you add new address cards quickly. However, it can also manage mailing lists. There are more tools planned, and when they arrive, they will be described in this section.

## Send me a Card: Adding New Cards Quickly

As noted before, when you get information about a person in the mail or in a calendar entry, you can add it to an address card. To do so, right click on any email address or email message, and select Add Address Card from the menu that appears. Of course, `Evolution` also adds cards from a hand-held device during HotSync operation. For more information about that, see the chapter called Synchronizing with a Hand-held Device.

## Managing a Mailing list

You already know that when you are writing an email, you can address it to one or more people, and that `Evolution` will fill in addresses from your contact manager's address cards if you let it. In addition to that, you can send email to everyone in a particular group.

Future versions of `Evolution` will allow you to you export a group of cards to a spreadsheet, database, or word processor so you can print address labels or prepare large postal mailings.
