Outlook Express users can quickly access their address books by enabling the Contact view. Here's how:

- In Outlook Express, click View from the menus
- Click Layout
- Check the "Contacts" box
- Click OK
Now with this mode enabled, you can simply double-click on an address book entry to pull up a new email addressed to that person.
Remember that you can also quickly get to your address book in the new email composition window by clicking on the TO button (see picture).
