You can select an addresses for an e-mail message from your contacts list in the e-mail application. The Luminis system also maintains searchable directories of e-mail account information, frequently called LDAP directories, on several servers throughout the system. The E-mail application lets you search these directories for the e-mail account information of any user with an account in the Luminis system. You can search these directories using a user's first or last name to locate the user's e-mail address, or you can search by e-mail address to determine a user name. The search function also lets you search by group name in your personal address book.

To address an e-mail message, use the following procedure:

1. Click the Compose icon located at the top of the E-mail Center window.

2. Click the Address button located at the top of the Compose E-mail screen. You see the Address Message screen.
4. To select an address from your contacts list, select the appropriate e-mail account from the All Contacts drop-down list, and then click either the To, Cc, or Bcc buttons to place the recipient's address in the corresponding address field.
To search for an e-mail address, use the following procedure:
1. Select the name of the LDAP directory you want to search from the Address Source drop-down box.
2. From the Search For drop-down box, select the criteria you want to use in your search. You can choose to search by the user's first name, last name, or e-mail address. Additionally, you can search by a group name, but group searches are limited to your personal e-mail address book.
3. In the Search Criteria field, enter the first name, last name, or e-mail address you are searching for, and then click Search. You see a list of the e-mail accounts that match your search criteria. You can use the asterisk character (*) as a wild-card in your search criteria. For example, entering C* in the Search Criteria field would return a list e-mail accounts where the user's first name, last name, or the user's e-mail address begins with the letter C.
If your search returned several pages of matching accounts, you can browse through the search results either alphabetically or by page number. To browse alphabetically, select the appropriate page from the drop-down box displayed below the Search Criteria field. To browse by page number, enter a page number in the Page field displayed below the Search button and then click Go.

To address a message using an address returned by the search, click either the To, Cc, or Bcc link located next to the e-mail account record. The user's e-mail address will then appear in the appropriate address field on the Compose E-mail screen.
