The first thing to do whenever you have a question such as that is to submit to Google (or whatever search engine you prefer) the query "mutt address book". Then look over the list of links which the search engine returns and click and click on the links which appear most promising. My own search with Google just now shows several approaches, including the "aliases" capability of mutt and a package called "abook". The second thing to do is look at the Mutt documentation. A search for "mutt manual address book" turns up several links. Once you have gained a bit of perspective from your own searching, then you are ready to ask the list for advice concerning a particular approach, or for advice as to which approach to take. Much depends upon how many addresses you need to manage and how the addresses are obtained. When you ask the mutt-users list for help, you need to mention such details. Unless you have a high volume of incoming mail and you need to add the addresses to you address book, the alias capability of Mutt may be perfectly adequate. But if you have a high volume of email and many addresses, you may need to utilize a database package to manage the address book. RLH
