The Address Book stores information about users, resources, and organizations. You can use the Address Book to search for information or to add e-mail addresses to an item you are composing.
The Address Book consists of the GroupWise® system address book, one or more personal address books, the Frequent Contacts address book, and possibly shared address books and LDAP address books.
You have one GroupWise system address book. The system address book includes all users who have a GroupWise Mailbox. You cannot modify the system address book.
You can have multiple personal address books. By default, GroupWise WebAccess provides one predefined personal address book with your name as the title. You can use your personal address book to add e-mail addresses and information for users, resources, or organizations not defined in the system address book.
You have one Frequent Contacts address book. In the Windows* version of the GroupWise client, your most frequently or most recently used addresses are automatically added to the Frequent Contacts address book. In GroupWise WebAccess, you must manually add addresses to this book. Addresses added by the Windows GroupWise client also appear in the GroupWise WebAccess Frequent Contacts address book.
In the Windows version of the GroupWise client, users can share address books with other users. In GroupWise WebAccess, you cannot share an address book with other users, but you can receive shared address books. After you accept a shared address book, it appears in your Address Book list along with your system address book, personal address book, and Frequent Contacts address book.
If your GroupWise system administrator has implemented LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) to gain access to other address books, the Address Book gives you the option of switching between the GroupWise address books (system address book, personal address book, Frequent Contacts, and shared address books) and the LDAP address books. You can use the LDAP address books to address items and search for user information.
