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.

    There is no drop down arrow at the outlook icon to click on. I cannot find a "people" choice anywhere?

    ... there is NO "down" arrow located near the logo...

    There was in 2013 when those instructions were given.

    Reposting again:

    1. Click on the window panes in the top left-hand corner of the window:

    2. Click on People:

    Notes:

    • If you don't see Outlook.com or Outlook Mail in the top left-hand corner, you're in the wrong place. Please use the Categories dropdown at the top of the page to navigate to the forum for the product you're using.
    • If you do see Outlook ..., but there are apparently no window panes, you're probably using the wrong browser. Try with Internet Explorer instead.
