Chapter 32. Mail and Address Book

The Mac OS X application for handling email is called Mail. As you’d expect, Mail enables you to write email messages, send messages, and receive messages. Beyond those basic functions, Mail has many useful tools for organizing, formatting, searching, and filtering email.

The Address Book is a separate application that works in conjunction with Mail. You can save your favorite email addresses, make a mailing to send a message to a number of people at once, enter an address in a new message with the click of the mouse, and more.
