The address book works closely with Evolution's mail and calendar tools. For example, you can use the address book to help you manage mailing lists, and send or recieve address cards over email. More tools are on the way, and when they arrive, they will be described in this section.
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 can also add cards from a hand-held device during HotSync operation. For more information about that, see Chapter 7.
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 address book's address cards if you let it. In addition to that, you can send email to everyone in a particular group if you choose.
