<title>Working with Your Contacts</title>
- <abstract>
- <para>
- The <application>Evolution</application> address book can
- handle all of the functions of an address book, phone book, or
- Rolodex. Of course, it's a lot easier to update
- <application>Evolution</application> than it is to change an
- actual paper book. <application>Evolution</application> also
- allows easy synchronization with hand-held devices. Since
- <application>Evolution</application> supports the <glossterm
- linkend="ldap">LDAP</glossterm> directory protocol, you can use
- it with almost any type of existing directory server on your
- network.
- </para>
- <para>
- Another advantage of the <application>Evolution</application>
- address book is its integration with the rest of the
- application. When you look for someone's address, you can also
- see a history of appointments with that person. Or, you can
- create address cards from emails with just a few clicks. In
- addition, searches and folders work in the same way they do in
- the rest of <application>Evolution</application>.
- </para>
- <para>
- This chapter will show you how to use the
- <application>Evolution</application> address book to organize
- any amount of contact information, share addresses over a
- network, and several ways to save time with everyday tasks. To
- learn about configuring the address book, see <xref
- linkend="config-prefs-contact">.
