From Mulberry

  1. Choose Address Book Manager from the Addresses menu.
  2. Highlight either the Local folder or mail.oberlin.edu folder depending on whether you want to store your address book on your local hard drive or on the server. (Note: there are advantages to the latter.)
  3. Click on New.
  4. If creating an address book on the server, enter a name for it. (Note: such remote address book names must start with "youruserid.", for example "sabc1234.friends") Click OK.
    If creating a local address book, you will not be prompted for a name and location to save the address book until you close either the address book or the Mulberry application.
  5. Under the Addesses menu, drag to Import and select QuickMail.
  6. Locate and highlight the address book to be imported. Click OK. The addresses will be imported into the new address book.

    Note you can also import addresses into already existing Mulberry address books. Just open the address book and proceed from step 5 above.
