You don't have to include that someone to your contact list in order to email him/her.

You can just simply type the address into the To box.

If you do want to add that person to your contact list...............

To access your main contact list:

Open outlook.com > top left next to the logo Outlook, there is a down arrow > click the arrow > click People > All your contacts are now listed on the left. Scroll down to see each contact.

How to add a new contact to your Contact List :

at the same People window , toolbar at top, click New > fill in the required info > click Save when done > the new contact is now included in your contact list.

    Editing your contact list means adding or removing someone from that list, but you say you don't want to add someone, so either you want to remove someone or, perhaps you really mean you want to edit an individual contact.

    To remove someone from the list, log into https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/people, select that person and then click Delete in the menu bar.

    To modify an individual contafct, log into https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/people, select the contact you wish to edit, then click Edit on the menu bar.

    I want to edit my contact list not add someone to it.  This does not address how to do that.

    What I illustrated on April 7 still applies.
