GryphMail features a fully functional address book that allows you to organize your contacts, create group contacts and is also available for setting up group view calendars. You can import other email program address books into GryphMail or you can export your current address book.
Gryph Mail allows you to view and add additional contacts to your calendar and can be left open in a browser to show changes in real-time.
Within the Address book function, you can create Contact Groups allowing you to organize your group emails by adding or deleting contacts on the fly. This can also apply to your calendaring functions.

The Task menu, located on the basic menu, is a function that allows you to create and keep track of your tasks. You can set start dates, due dates and reminders for your tasks. When you finish a task, you can mark it as complete by selecting the check box next to the list item in Tasks. Overdue tasks appear in bold.
