Before you can edit or use the address book in **Horde**, you will need to log in to the webmail client. The typical URL will be formatted like this: **https://domain-name.com/webmail** You can also use this format: **https://domain-name.com:2096** You would replace “domain-name.com” with your domain’s URL. ![](https://arnel-io.com/wp1831/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/webmail-login.png) You will see a login screen that asks for your email address and password. If you have any problems with logging into the email account, then click on **Reset Password** under the **Log in** button. ## How to Add a New Contact ![How to Add a Contact in the Address Book of the Horde Webmail Client](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/CWCy73YF-Hg/maxresdefault.webp) When you’re in the Horde interface you will need to click on **Address book** in the menu at the top of the screen.

It also includes **Location**, **Communications**, **Organization**, and **Other** tabs. Required entries are flagged with a red asterisk. In fact, the the only required field is the** Last Name**. Each tab can be seen in the following sliding gallery below.

If you need to save any contact information, it will be on the **Communications** tab. In order to use it while you compose email, make sure to add an email address in that tab. Oddly, it’s not a required field, but in order to use the auto-populate feature, you will need to have an email address saved. Here you can see how the auto-populate features works: [![](https://arnel-io.com/wp1831/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/horde-address-book-autopopulate.png)](https://arnel-io.com/wp1831/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/horde-address-book-autopopulate.png)*As you type an email address saved in the address book, it will appear in the field. This can save you a little time when putting in your recipient addresses.* When you have completed adding a contact with all the information you intend to use, click on the **Save** button at the bottom of any of the tabs. ## Editing a Contact Editing an existing contact is easy.
