Adding Contacts
You have a variety of ways to add contacts to your Yahoo! Address Book. The following list takes you to the tasks that show you how.
-
To quickly add basic contact information for one contact, use the Address Book’s Quick Add Contact feature.
-
To add detailed contact information for one contact, use the Address Book’s Add Contact page.
-
If you have a desktop application, such as Outlook or the Palm Desktop, import contact details from those address books.
Once you have a substantial number of contacts, you can group them into meaningful categories. In addition to providing a way to organize your contacts, categories act as distribution lists allowing you to send one email to a group of people. 
What’s Next
Keep your Address Book up to date by editing the contact information whenever you learn of a change. The Working With Contact Information tutorial shows you how.
