To share contacts
If you cannot see the Shared Contacts folder on the left, on the View menu, select Folders and Groups.
- In the contacts list, select the contact you want to share.
- Drag the contact to the Shared Contacts folder or to one of its subfolders.
This will allow other identities to see the contact.
Note
- If you drag a contact to the Shared Contacts folder, you have moved it, and it no longer exists in the original folder. You can make a copy of the contact information for your folder, but changes there will not be reflected in the Shared Contacts folder or vice versa.
- The Address Book automatically contains two identity folders: the Main Identity's Contacts folder and a folder that allows you to share contacts with other identities—the Shared Contacts folder. Neither of these folders can be deleted (although folders for additional identities will appear as new identities are created).
- You can make a contact available to the other identities by putting it in the Shared Contacts folder. You can create a new contact in the shared folder, or you can share an existing contact by moving one of your contacts into the Shared Contacts folder.
