In the WorldClient theme you can also create a new folder by clicking "+" in the folder list.

In the LookOut or WorldClient theme, double-click a contact to open it for editing or viewing. In LookOut you can also hover the pointer over it to get a detailed preview of the contact. In the Lite theme, click the contact's name to open it. In Standard, click the Edit icon in the Contact's row. If you don't have editing permission for the contact folder, the contact will be displayed with the save option and editing fields disabled.

Synchronizing with a Smartphone or Email Client

Using a BlackBerry Smartphone

If you wish to synchronize your WorldClient Contacts with the Contacts on a BlackBerry smartphone prior to BlackBerry 10, you can do so by using the BlackBerry Management page to Enterprise Activate your BlackBerry device. If the BlackBerry Management page isn't available then contact your email administrator to see if your account can be BlackBerry enabled. If you have a BlackBerry device but your account cannot be BlackBerry enabled for Enterprise Activation, then you must install a third-party synchronization client on the device in order to synchronize your Contacts. For BlackBerry 10 devices, see Using ActiveSync below.

Using a Third-party Synchronization Client

If you have a BlackBerry device that cannot be Enterprise Activated, a Windows Mobile device, or some other device such as an iPhone, then you may be able to use a third-party synchronization client on the device to synchronize your Contacts. Some example clients are: Funambol Sync Client, Synthesis, and SyncJE. There are also sync clients available for synchronizing your Contacts with an email client such as Microsoft Outlook. The Funambol Sync Client, for example, is available for Outlook, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and other types of applications and devices. Several clients are available free of charge.

Using ActiveSync

If your device is equipped with an ActiveSync client then you may be able to use that to synchronize your WorldClient Contacts with the device. Follow the links below for instructions on how to synchronize your device with WorldClient using ActiveSync:
