I already have a contact for this person, but they sent me an new email address. When I long press on the email address it throws me into contacts with the new entry. Android is so smart I thought there might and function to add to existing contact but I couldn't find one. As it was all I had to do is copy the email address then browse to the contact and paste it.... not the end of the world but I wondered if there is a better alternative.

Hello fellow users
Is there something like email to "Distribution List" or "Category" that I've assigned a whole bunch of Contacts to??
I have been using my T-Mobile MDA VARIO for several months now but still can't workout if there is a way to simply email using a POP3 email account to more than one recipient.
:?:Are POP3 Email Distribution Lists possible?
thanks for your wise words,

Interesting...I didn't realize the feature was missing until you pointed it out.
Here's a temporary workaround (don't have much time to sit and search for a freeware addon):
1. Create a new contact named as the group name you'd like to use (say "Development Team")
2. Enter all the e-mail addresses for your distribution list within the "e-mail" tag of this new contact, placing a semicolon ( ; ) between all addresses.
3. When you go to create a new email, enter the group name you just created and the email field should automatically fill with all the addressees (I tried with two, there may be a limitation)
glhs509,
Thanks for the TIP.
I've found there is a limit at 247 characters which works out at 6 - 7 email address' for me so not much scope for large distributions.
For more than 247 characters I've ...
1) on my PC created a temporary email to the distribution list
2) Expanded the name to show all email address
3) Copied into notes section of a new contact.
4) on my PPC I can sink the new contact and it just takes a copy and paste of the contact notes into a new email 'To' box.
Not great but a lot better than adding one at a time. So thanks
I would really like to sync my contacts with the distributions in outlook on my PC so if anyone knows how to, please fill us in
Ok I have a gmail user linked to a Facebook user. I didn't have this user in gmail so I created a shell (just the name). When linked the gmail user with the Facebook user I see one contact with cell pic act in my contact list. Great... but when if go to Google the contact still only has a name and noting else.
So, my question is how do I sync Facebook info with gmail?
Thank

Are you asking about exporting Facebook Friend contact data and importing that to a Google contact? Using your phone? I really don't think you can. Facebook Contacts friends details are not able to be exported, at least not using HTC contacts or MMS. The HTC people app is not designed to function like that, by populating one account with data from another account. It would be nice if it did have sine sort of sending out contact details. You could send contact data as a vcard to your gmail address and import using the website. But Facebook details don't populate to the vcard. I would like to be able to import more details into my Google contacts, but using my phones phone books other account types is not the way to go.

First let me say thanks for the response. And yes I wanted to sync the info in my phone (from Facebook) with my Google contacts. That makes me a little sad since it appears that Facebook and this phone work great together.
Well maybe one day.
Thanks again,

OK, I admit I am new to WinMo and the X2 but there is something with Contacts that I do not understand.
1. Why is it that only one work and one private email address per contact are possible? I am currently syncing with the Mac addressbook using The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile and several contacts have two work and two private email addresses. The funny thing is that only one of those work and one of the private email addresses are actually transferred to the X2. Is there a limitation with the WinMo Contacts in this respect?
2. More problematically, when I make a new email and wish to add a contact on the X2, a name and email are suggested while I am typing the name. So far so good. But, why is it that only one email address is suggested automatically for a person, even if there are two email addresses assigned to the contact in the phone addressbook? How can one alternate between those email addresses when typing a mail? So far, I have found no way but maybe I am missing something basic here.
As a point of comparison, both these issues do not happen with the Motorola Milestone under Android. I can have several work and private email addresses per person, and when I type a new email message, choice is given between all the email addresses of a given contact.
Thanks for help!
This issue is driving me nuts.
Is there nobody using the standard WinMo addresbook?
It's bill gates who says that people do not have more than one e-mail address (or mobile-phone numbers for SMS). One should be enough..
YEs, it's a stupid limitation of winmo that i can't understand why it's in this way..
Any other mobilephone-platform i have used works in the way you suggest..
Found a new bug. When you are in email app and wanted to add the email address to the existing contact, it replaced the first name of the contact with the email address in addition to adding to the email field.

When I am viewing an email in Gmail app on N7, is there any way to open that contact in People from the email?
In Gmail on my Win7 PC that functionality exists but was wanted to see if it was possible on my N7?
The closest I have came... clicking on the recipient email address starts a new email to them... long pressing on their pre-filled email address prompts me to copy to clipboard ... then navigating to People and search/paste...
But that is a lot of steps...
Am I missing something obvious or is there any Gmail setting that influences this area?
In the absence of this functionality, has anyone ran across an app that watches the clipboard for an email address and gives options such as "open contact", "send email" or "create new contact" etc...
Thanks!
