Addressing e-mail messages
You can address an e-mail message in several ways. You can select a recipient's name from an address book or click the e-mail address in the E-mail field of a contact record. You can also type the recipient's name or e-mail address into the To, Cc, or Bcc field when you create a new message.
If you type a contact or company name or e-mail address in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields, ACT! will try to match what you type with information in your database, depending on how you have set the auto-fill name option on the Composing Options dialog box.

If a contact has an e-mail address, you can also drag the contact from the Contact List and drop the contact into the To, Cc, or Bcc fields. |

To address an e-mail message by typing
Begin typing the contact’s first or last name, company name, or e-mail address, depending on how you have set the default auto-fill option.
When you begin typing, ACT! completes the name or e-mail address and displays the first alphabetical record.
Press the Down Arrow to display more contacts, and then press Enter, or double-click on a contact to select it from the list.

If you specify to match by Company name, ACT! will match what you type to the company names in contact records (not to company records). |
