CHAPTER 27 IN DEPTH: EVOLUTION 395 Adding (How to cite a web site)
CHAPTER 27 IN DEPTH: EVOLUTION 395 Adding or Editing Contact Information By far, the best way of initially building up your contacts list is to right-click e-mail addresses at the head of messages and select Add to Addressbook. This will add a simple contact record consisting of the individual s name and e-mail address. When using Microsoft mail applications, simply replying to an e-mail from an individual is enough to add that contact to your address book. Evolution is capable of this behavior, too, but the feature isn t activated by default. To set this up, click Edit . Preferences, click Mail Preferences on the left side of the dialog box, and then put a check in the box marked Automatically Create Entries in the Addressbook When Responding to Mail. You can then edit the contact details by double-clicking the entry in Contacts mode. This will let you enter a variety of information, as shown in Figure 27-8. To import a photo for this contact, click the top-left icon. You can use any picture here, and you don t need to worry about its size, because it will be resized automatically by Evolution (although its aspect ratio will be preserved). The imported photo will appear on the contact s virtual card. Figure 27-8. A lot of information can be entered for each contact and, by clicking the button at the top left, you can also add a photograph.
