"About identities An identity stores a person's preferences, [account] settings, Project Center information, Address Book and Calendar information, schedules, tasks, messages, and more. An identity can also store personal information, such as a person's e-mail and street address, once this information has been entered as a contact and the contact has been marked as [This contact is Me.] You can tell at a glance which contact contains an identity's personal information because the Contact is Me symbol Contact is Me symbol appears next to the contact in the Address Book."
