How to add Mac email addresses to the address book

Apple Mail, which is the default email application in the Mac OS X operating system, is designed to integrate seamlessly with the iCal Address Book. This means that you can take any email address in Mail, in the "To", "From" or "CC" field, or directly in the body of the email message, and transfer it to the address book. Apple Mail gives you the option to add the email address to an existing contact or create a new contact based on the email address.

Find the email address you wish to transfer to the address book. This can be in one of the information fields or in the body of the email.
