The address book is accessible via the <quote>Tools/Address book</quote> menu. It is arranged in different sections: the <quote>Address Book</quote> and its subsections, which contain the contacts that you added locally; the vCard sections, which contain imported vCards; and, if support for them was built into Sylpheed-Claws, the LDAP and jPilot sections, containing contacts from your LDAP servers or handheld devices.

- In the <quote>Address Book</quote> section, you can create multiple address books, each one being able to contain addresses and/or folders. This can help you organizing your contacts per category. In addition to this, you can create groups of addresses, which can then be used from the composition window to send mails to multiple people at once.
- The menus in the address book's window allow you to do all of this. For example, you can create a <emphasis>Family</emphasis> folder inside your <quote>Personal Addresses</quote> address book, using the <quote>Book/New folder</quote> menu when <quote>Personal Addresses</quote> is selected, or by right-clicking on it. In the same way, you can add contacts to an address book or folder by using the <quote>Address</quote> menu, or by right-clicking an item in the list in the right-hand part of the window.
- When adding a contact, a new window will popup, where you'll be able to specify the details of the contact in the first tab (<emphasis>Display Name, First Name, ...</emphasis>), and a list of email addresses in the second tab.
