    Email addresses in People app does not open up in the mail app

    I have windows 10. Previously in the people app when you clicked on a persons email you had the option to open the email in the mail app. Now when I click on any persons email whether it is gmail or outlook et al, it no longer gives me a choice to open in the mail app.... rather it just opens up my browser. This is for every email address I have in the people app. One more thing for your clarification. The mail app is synced with the people app because when I insert a name in the "to" box, the email addresses from the contact list show up as options. So I don't think this is a syncing issue. The problem is that you can't use the people app to email anyone because all it does is open up a browser when you click on the emaill address in the people app. Any Suggestions?

    Email addresses in People app does not open up in the mail app

    Thanks for confirming that this is not an issue with me Caledon, but it is an issue with the program. That helps. What surprises me is that Microsoft has not addressed this issue and more surprising is that there is very little comments on this issue on the internet. This is a productivity issue and should be addressed by Microsoft as soon as possible. What is also surprising is that Caledon and I have the same issue ( not quite but close) but Helmut seems to be able to send email through the people app. Helmut I deleted all accounts and then added them back in, but the issue still exists. This did not happen a few weeks ago, but it is happening now. I am assuming that an update to the mail and people app is doing this. But that does not help me. I cannot use the email address from any of my contacts in the people app to email them. All I get when I do that is a browser showing up. However, I can use the email app if I put their name in the TO Box which means that it is not a synching issue. Thanks to both of you for responding

    Win10 Mail - where's the address book?

    That’s now the People app. How to add an email address and name to Microsoft People app from Microsoft mail app :)
    If you know the contact's name or email address & they’re listed in the People app, you can start typing the first few letters of their name or email address and Mail for Windows 10 will suggest matching contacts.
