Hi maryllevine,

If I understand your question, you are looking for the Contacts application on your MacBook Air, and/or how to access your email addresses for your Gmail account in the Mail application. Can you tell us what version of the operating system you are working with on your MacBook Air? Click on the Apple in the top-left corner of your screen. Then click About This Mac to find out.

Depending on the version of the OS X you are working with, the application that stores your email addresses, telephone numbers, etc. is either called Address Book or Contacts. The applications are in the Application folder in Finder, and an icon that looks like an address book should be on your dock.

When you launch the Mail application, if you have added your Gmail contacts to your computer, the contact information in the Address book will be populated into the Mail application. When you compose a new message and start to type a person's name in the To: line, the email address for that contact should appear.

maryllevine, I'll include some basic information here about the two applications. If you can reply with additional information regarding your computer system, and the specific issues you are having with Mail and Contacts, we'd be happy to help you further.

Brenden, Hi,


Many thanks for this response to my question. Years ago, I gave up on

iMail and switched to gmail which is much easier to use and more complete.

When I purchased a new MacBookPro, I decided to use iMail, but have since

given up on it, and am only using gmail.


Although I love the Apple/Mac products and own many, I also think that

Pages (and the related apps) cannot compare to Microsoft Word and Office.


I don't know why Apple has produced great products and left these apps to

be so inferior, but it is not your fault.


Thanks for trying to help me.


Maryl
