   • Click the other tabs (i.e., Home, Business, Notes/Profile) to enter additional information about the contact. None of this information is required to add a contact.

4. On the Personal tab, in the E-mail Address field, enter an e-mail address for the contact and click Add. Continue adding e-mail addresses as needed.
   
   
   
   The e-mail addresses you add appear in the space provided. The e-mail address in bold is the default address. The default address is where all e-mail will be sent to the contact unless you specify otherwise.

5. To set or change the default address for the contact select the e-mail address you want to be the default by clicking in the checkbox next to the address and click Set Default.

6. When you are done adding the contact, click OK. You are returned to the Address Book and the contact you just added appears in the list.
