Keeping your Mac OS X Address Book up to date
September 19th, 2007 by Randy Stewart, Product ManagerHere’s a little tidbit I discovered recently while using Apple’s Mail.app.
One of the pain points for me for using Boxbe is keeping my list of contacts up to date. As an Apple Mail user, there is an easy way to do this. After you update your contacts, you can easily export them to Boxbe.
“Previous Recipients”
While it’s not exactly in the most obvious place, select Window > Previous Recipients.
This is a list of all the people you have ever sent email to in Mail.app. Sort the far left column to get a list of all the people who are not already in your Address Book.
Select the people you would like to add to your Address Book and click “Add to Address Book.” That’s it.
To import these addresses into Boxbe, select all of your addresses and click File > Export vCard. Despite sounding like you’ll only be saving one vCard, this will export all the Address Book entries you’ve selected into one file. You can import this file into Boxbe on your Add Senders page.
