Getting started with contacts

You can add personal contacts to your Web Mail Cloud list of contacts. Account administrator privileges are required to add corporate contacts. You can store as many as 2000 personal contacts.

Web Mail Cloud is a lightweight web client that allows you to work with your mail, contacts, and calendar from anywhere, without requiring an IBM® Domino® back end. Web Mail Cloud is a separate product from SmartCloud Notes® and does not access your SmartCloud Notes mail. For help on SmartCloud Notes, a more robust version of mail, and the browser client SmartCloud Notes web, refer to the SmartCloud Notes product documentation.

Actions that you can perform on your contact list:

Search for contacts by name by entering search text in the Find Contact field.
View all contacts by selecting All contacts.
Add, delete, or edit personal contacts.
Send email to one or more contacts by selecting the check boxes for the intended recipients and selecting Send message.

Corporate contacts

Your corporate directory is a company address book that contains all contact information about the employees. The corporate directory is made available and is maintained by your account administrator. When you select the corporate directory, you see all employees if the corporate directory facilities are available. To send a message to one or more employees in the corporate directory, select the check box for each of those employees and select Send message.

The number of corporate contacts that you can store varies. For more information about the number of corporate contacts that you can store, contact your account administrator.
