# Address Book

When writing a new message, `Cone` looks up addresses in the defined address books automatically. The "Address Book" option off the Main Menu accesses various address book-related maintenance functions.

The "Address Book" option first lists all defined address books. Normally there's only one: "Local Address Book" - a simple, private, address book maintained by `Cone`.

`Cone` can use a folder on a remote IMAP or SMAP server as an address book, permitting the address book to be shared between multiple account. When compiled with LDAP support, `Cone` can also use an LDAP server-based address book.

All known address book are listed on this screen. Press A to add a new LDAP server-based address book (IMAP and SMAP server-based address books are added directly from the "Folder Listing" screen, by highlighting the IMAP or SMAP folder, then pressing Use Aaddressbook). Highlighting the name of the address book, and hitting Enter displays all the entries in the address book (except for LDAP address books, which cannot be browsed or modified).

A

  Manually add an entry to the address book.

D

  Delete the address book entry.

E

  Export the contents of the address book to a file. See below for more information.
