Searching for contacts

To find a contact in your address book quickly, use the integrated search that supports direct and reverse transliteration of first and last names. For example, to search for “Mad Hatter”, you can start typing his name using the Latin “M” or the Cyrillic “М”.

When composing a message, type the first letters of the contact's first name, last name, or email address in the To field to see a list of matching contacts in popup suggestions. The contacts you recently sent emails to are listed first.
