How to Add Contacts to your Gmail Account

First, go to your email account: https://www.google.com/a/student.cravencc.edu/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=https://mail.google.com/a/student.cravencc.edu/&ss=1&ltmpl=default&ltmplcache=2

When you first log in, click on Mail in the top left corner and select Contacts:

Once you are in your Contacts List, you will click the picture that has a person and a + symbol.

In the box that appears below the person and +, type in the email of the person you are adding to your Contacts List.

You will then press the Enter key which will add the email address to your Contacts List.

If you click on the added address, you come to this page…

And you can then add your contact’s name by clicking “Add name”

Once you’ve typed the person’s name in, press “Enter”

Then click the arrow to go “Back to My Contacts”

You have now given your contact a name!

Now click on the “Contacts” arrow and click on “Mail”

This will bring up a blank email page

Start typing your contact’s name in the “To:” line, and your contact will appear!

As you can see, it works whether you type the first or last name of your contact

You may want to make sure that you name your teachers Ms., Mrs. or Mr., depending on their title

If you type the title, your contacts with Ms., Mrs., and Mr. (whichever you type) will all come up!
