Windows 10: new contacts not useable

Windows 10 mail. I can create a new contact and it appears in the list of people: however; if I want to send a new email to that new address (New-then type in the first letters of the name- that address does not offer itself.
Does anyone know the possible reasons for that?

import yahoo mail contacts to windows 10

Has anyone gotten a useable answer to this question on importing contacts to WIN 10

 

New Windows 10 Multidrive setup

I just built a new PC. I have an SSD, my boot drive, and a hybrid HDD. Wile they both show only the SSD is useable. The HDD shows as unallocated. I want to save the SSD for Program Files. How can I make the HDD useable?

 

Hi thesaint2

I've seen this in outlook.com using a browser. It won't acknowledge until I refresh browser, F5 or close page and reopen.

I don't use this app much but I would think the next time it syncs mail the address will be available. You could try the sync icon although it says sync this view.

While not a working solution you could try this. Add a fake address then close the mail app and restart the app. If the address is immediately there I think it would confirm a timing issue.

 

Thanks for your suggestions Ken. I tried them but I still cannot email new additions to my contacts list

 

Have to see what members you use app say.

Do they ever work, say half an hour later?

 

The Mail App and People App(Contacts) are separate but linked.
I would go through your Windows settings to make sure they are both running in the background.

Settings > Privacy > Email > People > On
Settings > Privacy > Background Apps > Mail/People > On.

On each Email Account go to settings > Change mailbox sync settings and make sure Contacts is On > done > Save.
Make sure the Mail App and Contacts App are up to date by going to the MS Store.
After that lot Restart.
It may take a while depending on what your Sync settings are.

At the end of the day you can uninstall both Apps and get them from the MS Store again. There is a tutorial on here on how to do that.

I do use the Mail App.

 

Good Morning Ken & Helmut,
Ken, the "Mail" contacts list works for all current contacts - but not for newly inserted contacts, even after a reset of the laptop.

Helmut, Thanks for your suggestions, I will try them as soon as I get a chance.

 

Thank you gentlemen.
Email reset in settings. All is well now.

 

Glad its working. I looked for reset but could not find.

I went settings, Accounts, email & app accounts. Couldn't find a reset, found manage.

Was your process different?

Thanks for posting your solution.

 

Goody.
The Reset option was in my version of the Mail App about 6 months ago, but currently it's not there.

MS seem to try out features on users. Currently here the left side Accounts list has a "boing" visual effect when selecting Accounts.

 

To reach "reset" I followed this path:- Windows Start Icon - Windows Settings - Apps - Mail & Calendar - Advanced Options - Reset

 

Perfect. I found it and others will now find it too.
