Communicating With a Contact
The Messenger Address Book provides several communication options. The row of bullets to the right of each contact tells you which options are available for the contact. You can initiate communication with a contact by clicking one of the contact’s bullets.
Here’s How
In the Messenger Address Book, place the cursor anywhere in the row containing the contact’s name.
Notice that the bullets change to icons, making the contact’s communication options obvious.
Click the desired option to begin communicating with the contact.
Tip: You can also click a contact’s name in the Messenger Address Book to display the contact’s information and communication options.
What’s Next
You can delete a contact in your Messenger Address Book, which also deletes the contact from your Yahoo! Contacts. This is detailed in the Working With Contact Information tutorial.
