Overview
The AT&T Yahoo! Address Book is an online contact manager that helps you organize and communicate with people you know. It is similar to a paper or desktop address book but with many more features and functions. You use the Address Book to store all of your contact information about individuals and companies. Because the Address Book is online, you can access it with an Internet connection from anywhere in the world.
The Address Book Sidebar module allows you to access the contacts in your Address Book from the Sidebar while you are browsing the Internet. It has two views:
-
Collapsed as a mini-module
The Address Book mini-module serves as a button that you can click to make Address Book the active Sidebar module.
-
Expanded as the active module
You can display and edit contact information using the Address Book Sidebar module.

Open your Browser, sign in to AT&T Yahoo!, and make sure that the Sidebar is open and that Address Book is the active module.
