And I already wanted to start the installation. But at the last moment, the user warned me that, to check and send mail, he uses the Outlook email client, where a very large list of E-mail addresses is stored that needs to be saved. This is exactly what I will tell you about now

I have already described the lesson earlier. For example, I have been using this email client regularly for a long time. Every day my “Address Book” was filled with addresses of friends and acquaintances. This contact list saved me a lot of time.
