A real beauty is that this sidebar can be enabled and disabled with the F4 button which means that you only need to display it when you need the address book. All the possibilities of the address book are given in the sidebar as well, you can edit properties of your contacts or quickly choose a contact that you want to write a mail to. Here are some highlights taken from the description:

  • Collapsable address book selection and search field to save space for contacts and accounts.
  • Quick search contacts. Search your contacts with different search criteria modes and multiple search terms
  • Write message to selected contacts. Add the recipients to the To, Cc or Bcc field of the new message.
  • Forward Contact, to send contact info as a vCard attachment.
  • Drag & Drop files and messages to a contact to easily add attachments to a new message to this contact.
  • Automatically populate LDAP address books with a user-defined search query (see Contacts Sidebar Options).
  • Toolbar button, F4 key and a menu item “View | Layout | Contacts Sidebar” to toggle the display of Contacts Sidebar.
