Windows mail address book
The Windows Address Book!
The Windows Address Book is a contact management system that was included with Windows operating systems from Windows 95 to Windows 7. It allowed users to store and manage their contacts, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, and other details.
Here are some key features of the Windows Address Book:
- Contact storage: The Address Book stored contacts in a file called "WAB" (Windows Address Book) on the user's computer.
- Contact management: Users could add, edit, and delete contacts, as well as organize them into groups and categories.
- Search functionality: The Address Book included a search function that allowed users to quickly find specific contacts by name, email address, or other criteria.
- Integration with other Windows applications: The Address Book was integrated with other Windows applications, such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Office, and Windows Live Mail, allowing users to easily share contacts across different programs.
- Syncing with online services: The Address Book could be synced with online services like Hotmail, Outlook.com, and other email providers, allowing users to access their contacts from anywhere.
The Windows Address Book was replaced by the People app in Windows 8 and later versions of Windows. The People app provides similar contact management features, but with a more modern and streamlined interface.
