Address Cards from non AOL members
When
a non-AOL member shares his or her contact information with you, you receive
an e-mail message with an Internet Address Card attached to the message.
To add someone's Internet Address Card to your Address Book
1. Click the Read icon on the AOL toolbar.
2. Select the mailbox folder that contains the e-mail that has the Internet
Address Card attachment.
3. Double-click the e-mail that has the Internet Address Card attachment.
4. Click the link labeled Internet Address Card Attached in the message
heading. If the attachment only contains one Address Card, it is automatically
added to your Address Book. If the attachment contains multiple Internet
Address Cards, a screen appears that lists all the contacts so you can
choose which ones you want to add to your Address Book.
5. To decline a contact's Address Card, select the contact from the list
and click Remove.
6. Click OK to add the chosen contacts to your Address Book.
7. If a duplicate entry exists in your Address Book, the Duplicate Contacts
message is displayed. Click one of the following buttons:
- Update Existing: Replaces the existing entry in your Address Book
with the new entry.
- Create New: Creates a new Address Book entry for the contact.
Notes
· If you don't want to accept someone's contact information, close
the message or delete it.
· When you share your Address Card with non-AOL members, your contact
information is sent in vCard format, so it can be shared by different
e-mail programs. AOL refers to vCards as Internet Address Cards. The vCard
(.vcf) format is the standard method (like an electronic "business
card") AOL uses to share contact information between AOL members
and non-members.
· You can also import vCards (.vcf files) located on your computer
into your Address Book by opening the File menu and choosing Open.
