Contacts

The Contacts app in onmeil.eu keeps track of the people you communicate with — with names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, birthdays, and other details.

You'll find it by clicking Contacts in the left-hand sidebar.

Main features

• Create and edit contacts with details like name, email, phone, address, and birthday
• Tabs per contact: Info / Mail / Files — see what you've exchanged with the person
• Auto-collected addresses — people you've sent email to show up here automatically
• VIP marking — highlight important senders
• Import / export via vCard (.vcf)
• Sync with external clients via CardDAV (Apple Contacts, Thunderbird, DAVx5)
• Birthdays in the calendar — appear automatically

Create a new contact

1. Click New contact at the top
2. Fill in the fields:
   • First name, Last name
   • Email (one or more — Home / Work / Other)
   • Phone (several types: Mobile / Home / Work / Other)
   • Address
   • Organization
   • Birthday — shown in the calendar
   • Notes
3. Click Save

Tabs on the contact card

When you open a contact, three tabs appear:

Tab	Contents
Info	The contact details themselves — name, email, phone, and so on
Mail	All the emails you've exchanged with this person
Files	Files you've shared or exchanged over email

This is how you quickly find what you've talked about or sent each other.

Search and filter

Use the search box at the top — it looks through names, email, phone, and notes. You can also filter by:

• With email — only those who have an email address
• With phone — only those with a phone number
• With organization — only those linked to a company
• With birthday — only those with a birthday on file

Sort by name (A–Z or Z–A) with the sort button.

Auto-collected contacts

Addresses you've sent email to, but haven't added as a "proper" contact, are listed under Auto-collected (or Other contacts). You can move them into your main list when they're worth keeping.

See Auto-collected contacts.

VIP marking

Mark important senders as VIP — then their emails get a VIP badge in the inbox and are sorted first. See VIP senders.

Bulk actions

Select several contacts with the checkboxes, and you'll get these buttons at the top:

• Send email (CC) — start a new email with everyone selected in the Cc field
• Send email (BCC) — everyone in Bcc (recommended for mass mailings)
• Export vCard — download the selected contacts as a .vcf file
• Print — print the contact details
• Delete

Import from another service

Do you have existing contacts in Gmail, iCloud, Outlook, or another service? Export them as vCard and upload them to onmeil.eu.

See Importing contacts.

Connect to Apple Contacts, Thunderbird, DAVx5

To view and edit your onmeil.eu contacts in Apple Contacts or another external app, use CardDAV. See CardDAV setup.

Birthdays in the calendar

If you've saved birthdays on your contact cards, they show up automatically as events in the calendar — with a 🎂 emoji. You can turn this off per contact if you'd like.

See Birthdays in the calendar.

Tips

• Enter a last name for contacts you have many of (family members, colleagues with the same first name)
• Use the organization field for coworkers — so you can quickly find everyone from the same company
• Keep auto-collected tidy — remove one-off exchanges that don't deserve to become "proper" contacts
