    Add a contact from an email
    If you're using the Mail app, you can save a contact from an email to the People app.

    1. Select the Start button, then select Mail.
    2. Choose a message. Select the name of the person who sent it or any of the recipients.
    3. Select Save .
    4. If you've entered more than one email account in Mail, the People app asks you to decide which account should receive the new contact. Choose which account to use.
    5. Add any additional information, then select Save.

    :)

    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 ?

    Mail App: Removing drop down email address suggestions

    I'm not a big fan of the MS Mail program and don't really use it for serious stuff but somehow or other if I create a new email then as I start to enter the recipients address a whole load of suggestions will appear. I don't have any contacts in the People app so I'm not sure where these come from.

    The question is how can I clear this list so that I no longer get the suggestions?

    Thanks
