    People - New Contact

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that you’re trying to import contacts from your
    Live Account     and Microsoft account to People app.

    If yes, I suggest you to follow the steps to import contacts from the above mentioned accounts.

    1. Open People app. Tap on Options menu
      (…) > Go to Settings.
    2. Tap on Add an Account.
    3. Next choose the Email account from which you want to import your contacts.
    4. Enter your Email account credentials and sign in. Your contacts will be imported to People app.

    Please refer the section Add contacts from the article
    People app help for more information.

    Regards,

    Muralidhar

    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.

    Can't add new account to Contacts people

    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 ?
