Qualcomm 4.3 Creating a new nickname entry, Adding the email address to your Address Book

Adding an Address Book Entry Eudora User Manual

Creating a new nickname entry

3Enter a Nickname for the entry in the text box.

A nickname, sometimes called an alias, is an easily remembered, shorter substitute for the email address in the entry. Nicknames can be used in place of proper email addresses in the To, Cc, and Bcc header fields of outgoing messages. You can enter a name in the Nickname text box for one person or for a series of persons. For example, “buddies” may be a nickname that stands for a list of five email addresses for five friends of yours. You’ll be sending mail addressed to “buddies” rather than having to enter those five email addresses in the recipient fields.

Note. You cannot use the actual email address as the nickname. It must be different.

4Specify which address book this entry belongs to by choosing a name from the “in Address Book” drop-down list if you have multiple address books, for example “Family.”

5If you want the nickname on your recipient list, select Put it on the recipient list.

Important. You cannot create a file within a file so do not select the “Make it an Address Book” option.

6To create the entry, click OK.

7Select the Address(es) tab, then enter the complete email addresses of the people (or person) to be included in the nickname, separating the addresses with commas or returns This is the only area you can use a return to separate addresses. You can also use nicknames in this field, but be sure that any nicknames you use are defined in their own entry. You can use a mix of nicknames and complete email addresses.

Adding the email address to your Address Book

Note. Be sure there is no other information in this field except addresses or nick- names, or your messages will be addressed incorrectly.

8Select the Info tab, and in the Name text box, enter the real name of the person or group. If there is just one address for the entry, the real name and the address are included in the To: field for your recipient to see. If there is more than one address for the entry, the real name is the only thing included in the To: field for your recipients— they do not see the whole list of recipients. If there is nothing in the Name field, the recipients do see the whole list.
