    Not getting the contact names in Windows Mail app while composing Email


    I compose an email in Win 10 mail. I click on the "To". The popup shows "Suggested recipients", not the usual People app list of names .... and I cannot do anything with names in the suggested list, even if I select one.


    This has to be People app related, right?

    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 ?

    Not getting the contact names in Windows Mail app while composing Email

    Win10 Mail - where's the address book?


    That’s now the People app. Not getting the contact names in Windows Mail app while composing Email :)
    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.
