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.

    This will sound stupid, but I cannot find the "outlook.com at the top left next to the logo outlook and a down arrow"!!!

    I just signed-up with Outlook a few days ago, and put together an initial Contacts List. I wanted to add names to the list today and absolutely cannot find my List. Can you help??

    trying to get a correct and direct answer is impossible when you dealing with computers-throw them out-wasting way too much time-take out your paper phone book-look up the person-u should have a phone near you-try dialing-when they say hello ask them if they have thrown their computer out yet?
