To address an item

1. Click Compose to open a new item.

2. Click Address Book to open the Address Book.
   
   By default, the Address Book opens to the GroupWise® address books. If your GroupWise system administrator has enabled LDAP, you can click LDAP Address Book to search LDAP address books.

3. In the Address Books list, select the address book you want to search.
   
   For GroupWise, you can choose the GroupWise address book, the Frequent Contacts address book, or a personal address book. For LDAP, you can choose any LDAP address books your GroupWise system administrator has defined.

4. Select the number of entries you want displayed at one time. The default displays 25.

5. To list the first entries (25 by default) in the selected address book, leave the search conditions boxes empty.
   
   or
   
   To search for a specific entry, use the search conditions boxes to define the Address Book fields and information you want to search.
   
   GroupWise WebAccess supports the * (asterisk) and ? (question mark) wildcards. When searching a field, you can use * to represent multiple characters and ? to represent one character. If you define a "Last Name contains s?n" condition, the search returns all entries whose last names contain S and N separated by one character (Sanders, Johannson, Larsen, and so forth).
   
   The HTML Address Book and LDAP Address Book allow you to enter two search conditions. The Java Address Book, however, lets you enter more than two conditions. To do so, click the Advanced Search button.

6. Click Search Address Book (or Search) to display a list of entries that match your search conditions.

7. Select the entry you want to add to the item's recipient list > click To, CC, or BC to indicate the recipient type.
   
   If you are using the HTML Address Book or LDAP Address Book, you can add multiple recipients at one time by selecting the check boxes in front of the recipients' entries. In the Java Address Book, you must add each recipient individually.

8. After you've finished selecting the item's recipients, click OK to add them to the item.
