How To Define Contacts

This is a new feature to mtext.net that allows you to store information about people with whom you communicate the most.  It is also used to assign short codes so that you can reduce the amount of typing on your SMS when you want to originate email messages from your mobile devices. Entries to My Contacts can be added in three different ways.

  • From the screen below click on the "Add New Contact" button.  The Contact List entry screen will be shown where you can add a new entry.
  • From the SpamGuard screen, click on the "Add to My Contacts" button.

  • While reading email messages click on "Add to Contact List" to add to my Contact List link
