The Addressbook screen, once it has some entries, will look something like this:-
The addressbook screen has three areas:
Search __SERVICE__ Users searches for local users on the __SERVICE__ system. The search is made against the initial registered name of each user (of the form "A.N. Other") and also against the fullname which can be set using this Webmail interface. Please note: the local search database only stores limited numbers of results. Queries that would return large numbers of results (e.g: Smith) will typically return no results and an explanation to this effect. It is also possible to search for details on a particular __SERVICE__ username or for usernames which match a given set of initials.
Search Directory searches the University Directory. The results will be more comprehensive than the local search database, but does not contain information about recently cancelled accounts.
These have a group of common elements at the left and right hand sides of the bar, and a unique element in the centre.

It is possible to temporarily change how you sort the addressbook by selecting Alias, Name, Comment or Address(es) in the column headings. This will sort in ascending order; it is possible to reverse the selected sort order by reselecting your chosen column.
