# Pick recipients from the address book

In Classic compose, click **To**, **Cc** or **Bcc** to open the address book. Choose **GENERAL** for your own contacts, **GLOBAL_ADDRESSES** for everyone in your organisation or **ADMIN_ADDRESSES** for the admin list. Tick the people you need and click **Insert Checked Contacts**. To reuse people you mailed lately, click **Recent Contacts** instead.

## When to use it

|---|---|
| **GENERAL** | Your personal contacts. |

## Good to know

- If you select many contacts, XgenPlus asks you to confirm before adding them.
- If you pick more than 200 contacts, XgenPlus says "You can not send mail to more than 200 contacts".

## Common questions
