FAQ - Where’s my address book?

Several folks have noted that their contacts are not immediately showing up in the new Communication Center.

Unfortunately, address books (much like locally stored email) can’t be automatically imported from your mail client.  Even if your mail is stored on the server, your address book is not.

If you are a faculty or staff member with a College computer, we’ll help out with this (and your locally stored email) when we come around to do your desktop transition (see http://www.brynmawr.edu/is/isir/understanding.shtml to learn more).

If you’re using a personal computer, or you need this in the Web client sooner than your transition date, call the helpdesk (x7440) for help exporting your address book to a .csv file and importing it into the Communication Center.

You may have noticed that if you start typing the name of a person here at Bryn Mawr, you automatically get a list of choices.  This is known as a global address book, and it means you no longer need addresses of Bryn Mawr folks in your personal address book.  If your address book contains only a few outside address or groups/lists, it might be easier and quicker to enter these manually.
