Webmail's contacts folders are useful for keeping track of email addresses, phone numbers, and other information for each of your contacts. To view your default Contacts folder, click Contacts in the navigation pane. The Folder List then shows your contacts folders, so you can select a different one, or you can create a new contacts folder (see Folders).
In the WorldClient theme, click a contact to display its details beside the list. The details include buttons to Edit, Edit in New Window, Delete, Send Message, Download vCard, and Send vCard. Double-click a contact to open it in a new window. In the Pro theme, click the contact to open a preview of it, with buttons to edit or delete it and a shortcut menu with other options, such as Copy, Move, Send Message, and Send vCard. In both themes, if you have turned off Display Previews in your Personalize settings, clicking a contact opens it for editing right away. If you don't have editing permission for the contact folder, the contact will be displayed with the save option and editing fields disabled. Right-click a contact to open a shortcut menu with contact-related options.
In the WorldClient theme, use Card view and List view to show your contacts as cards or as a list, and Customize Columns to choose the columns shown in List view. Click All (Show all contacts across folders) to see the contacts from all of your contacts folders at once, and use Sort contacts to change the order.

Synchronizing with a Smartphone or Email Client

If your device is equipped with an ActiveSync client then you may be able to use that to synchronize your MDaemon Webmail Contacts with the device. Follow the links below for instructions on how to synchronize your device with Webmail using ActiveSync:
ActiveSync may not be available for all users.
Using CardDAV
Many contact applications and devices, such as Apple Contacts on macOS and iOS and Mozilla Thunderbird, can synchronize with your Webmail contacts using CardDAV, if it is enabled for your account. In the application, add a CardDAV account using your email address and password. If the application asks for a server address, ask your email administrator for it.
Using MDaemon Connector
To synchronize your contacts with Microsoft Outlook, use MDaemon Connector, if it is supported for your account.
