Populating the Contact List

At any time, but particularly when you first deploy Bria, you may want to populate the contact list with contacts
from an external source.

Synchronizing with the Mac Address Book

You can populate the Bria contact list by synchronizing with your Mac address book. In this case, you are
actually using your Mac address book from within Bria. When you start Bria, contacts are fetched from the
address book. When you add or modify a contact in Bria, the contact is actually saved in the Mac address book.

To synchronize with the Mac address book, set your contact list storage method to this value. See page 70.
