    Windows 10 Mail app contacts - Other email


    While trying to share a file I noticed there is a BOT contact in my computer - *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. This is obviously NOT MINE and has somehow been dropped into my machine.


    So I want to delete this contact and I have found other garbage contacts I'd also like to delete


    However when I look at my mail app it does not list this as a contact. When I search for the contact it comes up as 'other email' but will not let me delete.


    Please help me delete this contact.

    :)

    Email contacts missing


    1. If you open Mail app and click the + sign for New mail > type first couple of letters of a contact name > will a list of suggested names appear ?

    2. Go to All apps > scroll to P > click People. Is the contact list there ?

    Deleting contacts from Windows 10


    When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

    I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.


    • Open Windows Live Mail.
    • Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
    • Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
    • Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
    • Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

    After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

    For Mail app:

    Open People app then delete the contact.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

  4. Windows 10 Mail app contacts - Other email

    How do I add a contact from the Windows 10 Mail App?

    I really like the clean interface of the Windows 10 Mail app but one serious flaw is that I can't add contacts or get to contact info for the sender or anyone on the email. A tenforums.com post indicated that there should be an "open contact" link on the contact info that comes up when clicked. It doesn't.


    Windows 10 Mail app contacts - Other email M3wKo.png


    It show the information but does not show the open contact link. This might be due to the mail being from a University Outlook server not Outlook.com, but the same is true for mail from my gmail account.

    My main question is:

    Some auxiliary questions that might be informative for myself and other readers are:

    • Was this a regression in functionality from a previous version of the Mail app?
    • Is there a setting to change somewhere to make the 'open contact' link appear?
    • Is the 'open contact' link not appearing because this is an outlook account?
