To edit the address book, open the address book editor. If the book is already present in the address book tree on the left side of the window, you may expand it (and any subgroups it might have) and start editing immediately. If not, you must first add it to the tree by choosing ``New..'' from the ``Book'' submenu or using the corresponding toolbar button.

The first dialog allows you to find the entry by its contents while the second one allows you to quickly go to the entry (in thecurrent address book only) if you know its nickname. In the ``Find'' dialog you have several options to configure the search: it may be either case sensitive or not (should ``mike'' match ``Mike''?) and try to find only the whole string or just the substring of it (should ``mik'' match ``Mike''?). You may also choose among which fields should the search be done. You may choose as many fields as you like (possibly all of them) but you must choose at least one.
After you used the ``Find'' dialog once, you may choose the ``Find next'' menu item to go to the next address book entry matching your search criterium (notice that a message in the status bar will notify you about how many matches, if any, were found). Keep hitting ``Find next'' until the search wraps to the beginning (again, watch the status line for the message) or until you find the entry you're looking for.
You may import your existing address book file by choosing the ``Import book...''entry from the ``Book'' menu - this will open the address book import dialog proposing you to select the
