Contacts tab

The Contacts list helps you find specific email addresses, quickly find email conversations associated with a contact, and store additional information about your correspondents (such as a mailing address, title, phone number, etc).

NOTE: New contacts are automatically added to the list when you Reply to an email from them.

In addition to the contacts added automatically, you can add individual Contacts or import them in bulk from another application.
