  1. Windows mail does not offer email address saved in contacts


    Hi,In windows mail, I type the name of a person. It offers one email address associated with the contact, random email addresses that it should not have, but does not list the primary email address of the person.When I go to contacts, it does have the correct email address listed but does not have anyway to tell the contact which email address is preferred.I do not have this problem if I simply use gmail.com which has the same contact information. This issue makes using the mail app almost useless.

    Cannot save email address from Mail app to People app


    I am trying to add an email address from an existing email from the Windows 10 Mail app to the Windows 10 People app. I click the email adress, click OPEN CONTACT, click SAVE. It does not save. Instead, it opens my list of contacts and asks me to "Choose a contact". I have to be able to save new contacts from my emails I receive. Does anyone have a solution?

    Win10 Mail - where's the address book?

    That’s now the People app. Windows mail does not offer email address saved in contacts :)
    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.

    Windows mail does not offer email address saved in contacts

    Cannot save email address from Mail app to People app


    I guess you are not understanding what is happening. Syncing is not the problem. I have a lot of emails that came into the MAIL app. The people who sent me those emails are NOT in my list of contacts. I do not want to re-type their email address into the PEOPLE app. As I am viewing the email of the person I want to save, I click their name, I click OPEN CONTACT because that is the only option offered. It opens the PEOPLE app. It has an icon of a disk (I am assuming that is to save) and the 3 ellipse which do nothing but raise it and the disk icon up 1 down and then if I click it again it goes down 1 line. So, I click the SAVE (disk icon). Instead of saving, it opens my existing list of contacts with a message at the top that says "Choose a Contact". I really think it is a bug. These 2 apps are very poorly designed. I am very frustrated.
