Overview

The Verizon 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
