What is "Nickname" in the address book?
A nickname is a descriptive name added to or replacing the actual email of a
person. Nicknames are used to provide a familiar or shortened form of a full
email. Sometimes in email terminology, the nickname is a part of the actual
email address(i.e. it is possible to receive an email from:"mark"
<marktwin@newmail.net>, in which "mark" is the nickname).
The Safe-mail system uses the nickname in a contact card to uniquely identify
the contact and its email address. For example, if you enter "John" in
the NickName field of your account's "User Info", any outgoing email
from you will be identified as sent from: "John"
<accontname @ Safe-mail.net>. Since a nickname is a unique identifier of an email address, it must be filled
in at the creation of a new contact card in your address book that contains an
email address. Consequently, using a nickname can substitute the typing of a full
email address in email message composition, file sharing or in any other part of
the system. Let's say you save a contact card in your address book with the nickname
"mark" and email address "marktwain@domain.net". From now
on, any time that you will enter "mark" in a field that requires an
email address (To:, CC:, BCC:, etc.) - the outgoing message or action will be
sent to "marktwain@domain.net". Note: The nickname is restricted to a single word and cannot contain
blanks and characters, such as @ ! / \ : * ? < > ` | " % ^ # ~ ; [ ]

Can I use the nickname in Safe-mail other than in the address book?
In the fields To:, CC:, BCC:, etc., what is the difference between a nickname and an abbreviation?
Safe-mail's default domain is "Safe-mail.net". This means that instead of sending an email message to "support@SAFe-mail.net", you can simply write "support" in the "To:" field. Safe-mail will check if there is a nickname "support" in your address book. If not, the system will interpret it as "support@SAFe-mail.net . In case you have such a nickname ("support"), the message will be sent to the email address, which is identified by that nickname.
The data in your address book has the highest priority in the interpretation of names. In case you want to send a mail to "mark@SAFe-mail.net" and you already have a nickname "mark" for "marktawin@domain.net", you must enter the full email address "mark@SAFe-mail.net". Otherwise the message will be sent to "marktwawin@domain.net".
