Re: Adding e-mail addresses in address book?
Excellent. I was popping in to ask this very question, and here it was. I haven't really had to worry about it too much, because in typing an address or name, it auto fills, but only if I've previously written the person. I spent about an hour trying to find a way to add a friend's address and finally just stuck it in a blank field to keep it. This helps a lot. Thanks guys!

Take a look at the notes about Address Book at Tim Kilburn's web site for VoiceOver: http://homepage.mac.com/kilburns/voiceover/addressbook.html Although these notes were written for Tiger, they generally apply to Leopard, as well, and provide a useful overview. If you're creating new entries in your address book, there's an Add Sender to Address Book option under mail (Command-Shift-Y) that will add the name and email address from the message you're currently reading to your address book. If you look under the Window menu of your mail menu bar (VO-M to menu bar, press w to go to Window and arrow down), you'll find an Address Panel with shortcut Command- Option-A and a Previous Recipients. The Command-Option-A shortcut toggles on or off the Address Panel, which is an abbreviated form of your Address Book for use in mail that will allow you to check that email addresses have been added. The Previous Recipients option brings up a list of the names and addresses of people you have sent email to. You can select entries in the table and use the Add to Address Book button, or you can delete entries. Command-W to close windows when done.
