When you create a personal address book, a tab is added to the main Address Book window.  When you create multiple address books, you can include the same name and address in several books. If the entry is copied from an address book and you edit the entry's information in one book, it is updated in all books.

Personal address books group addresses according to your preferences. For example, you can include Internet addresses or no address at all for the people you add to your personal address books. You can create a personal group. If you save a list of people as a group, you only need to type the group name in the To box to send the entire group a message.

 1. Click Tools on the toolbar.
