Step 1: Open Address Book

From the Eudora main screen, select Tools / Address Book. The keyboard shortcut for this action is <Ctrl>L. You will see Eudora's Address Book display, but it contains no entries.

Step 2: Add an Entry Manually

Click the New button to start the addition of a new entry. Notice that it calls the name field "Nickname." There is only a single name field. Of course you can put multiple names in the field, separated by spaces. But Eudora alphabetizes on this single field. So you'll need to put last names first if you want the entries to appear in last name order. Call the entry "Mom" and click OK.

Step 3: Enter the Email Address

We are returned to Eudora's Address Book screen, but this time it's ready to accept an email address for Mom. Type in an email address.

Step 4: Enter Notes

Click the Notes tab. Each entry in the address book has this space for notes to yourself, which the computer never uses for anything. You can enter mailing addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, anything you want to remember about the person you're entering into the address book. Type something here if you wish. For purposes of the examples, enter another sample entry called Bilbo Baggins, by clicking New again, and give it a sample email address.

Step 5: Close the Address Book

Select File / Save, and then click the lower X to close the Address Book window. If you try to close the address book without saving first, Eudora warns you and gives you another chance to save your changes. You will be returned to the list of emails in your In box.
