    Microsoft Windows 10 Mail Client will not save contacts


    The Windows 10 Mail client on my desktop does not give me the option to save contacts and I do not know why. Below is a screen shot of what happens when I left click on a email sender in Mail on my desktop. Note that the top option is to "Send email" to the contact:

    Microsoft Windows 10 Mail Client will not save contacts 255778f3-a27b-4980-b18c-556f55f961d1?upload=true.jpg


    On my laptop, which is running the same version of the Mail client, and left click on the email address I get a slightly different dialog box, in which I have the option to "Save" the contact to People:

    Microsoft Windows 10 Mail Client will not save contacts ee488a8a-827b-45ba-b249-09eff88dfb8b?upload=true.jpg


    I actually have the same problem on a couple of other laptops as well. I can not figure out why the same client behaves differently on different platforms. Any thoughts on why this is happening? I appreciate the help


    My desktop is running:

    Window 10 Home, Version 1909

    Mail Version 16005.12624.20368.0


    My laptop is running:

    Windows 10 Home, Version 1809

    Mail Version 16005.12624.20368.0

    :)

    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.
