How to Add and Delete Contacts in Thexyz Webmail

The Address book in Thexyz Webmail stores the people and companies you email, so you can pick them in the To field instead of typing addresses from memory. Adding a contact takes a name and an email address; everything else (phone numbers, street address, job title, notes) is optional. This guide shows how to add a contact, what the contact form contains, and how to edit, export or delete a contact afterwards.

Quick answer

Open Address book, click + and choose Contact. Click Name and fill in First (and Last if you like), then under Communication click Add e-mail address, type the address and click Save. To delete a contact, select it, click the ⋮ menu at the top-right and choose Delete, then Yes.

Step 1: Start a new contact

1. Click Address book in the top bar.
2. Click the + button above the contact list. A small menu opens with Contact and Organization.
3. Choose Contact for a person. (Use Organization for a company, which you can later link people to.)

Step 2: Enter the name

1. The Contact window opens on the General tab. Click the Name field.
2. A panel drops down with separate boxes for First, Middle, Last, Initials, Prefix, Suffix and Salutation. Type at least the First name, and the Last name if you know it.

3. Click outside the panel. The full name now shows in Name.

The same tab has optional Job title, Department, Gender, Organizations and Address book fields. Address book shows which address book the contact will be saved in; the default is fine for most people.

Step 3: Add an email address and save

1. Under Communication, click Add e-mail address.

2. A Type list (it shows Work) and an E-mail box appear. Type the email address in E-mail. Click Add e-mail address again if the person has more than one.
3. Click Save.

4. The contact appears in the list. Click it to see its details on the right: the name, the email address with its type, and Files and Info sections.

You can also add a phone number (Add phone number), a postal address (Add street address), a birthday or other date (Add date) and a website (Add online url) from the same form.

How to edit, export or delete a contact

1. Select the contact in the list.
2. Click the ⋮ (more) button at the top-right of the detail panel. The menu has Edit, Star, Remove from group, Print, Export (vCard), Send (vCard) and Delete.
3. To delete the contact, choose Delete.

4. In the Confirm box, Are you sure you want to delete the selected item?, click Yes.

The contact disappears from the list. Click No instead if you change your mind.

To change a contact’s details, choose Edit from the same menu (or use the pencil icon), change the fields and click Save. Export (vCard) downloads the contact as a .vcf file you can import into a phone or another email program.

Tips and troubleshooting

• Find a contact quickly. Use the magnifying-glass search above the list, or the Starred view on the left after starring your most-used contacts.
• Organisations and people. Create the company with Organization first, then pick it in a person’s Organizations field to link them.
• Several address books? The left panel lists them under Address books. Check the Address book field in the form before you click Save.
• Save is not working. Make sure the Name has at least one part filled in and that the email address has no spaces.
• Using OX App Suite instead? See How to Add Contacts and a Distribution List in OX App Suite.

Thexyz Webmail comes with Thexyz hosted email, so the same mail, calendar, contacts and tasks are available from any browser.
