I have recently been upgraded to Outlook from Hotmail. I have sent an email to a new contact and I want to add them to my contacts list. In Hotmail I just needed to click on 'add to contacts' but Outlook does not appear tp have this facility. Can anybody help?

    So, an email wound up in my junk box and I want to add the sender to my contacts so it won't get auto-junked.  Moved the email to my inbox, responded to the email... there used to be a way to send an address from the email right to the contacts list without having to manually enter it.

    Is this no longer an option?  Yes or no will do, with instructions if it's a yes.  

    (I know I can 'add' the contact by retyping it and all - just wondering if there's a more convenient way.)

    Big problem MS! I can't even find contacts! It is not even possible to add delete any new contacts. Great thinking you stupid tech's that had a part in this email design. I hate it! Can't find contacts! Ugh! drives me crazy and have just come to the fact that I will never be able to add or delete a contact again in my life.

    Oh yea this all is because  made the mistake of changing over to windows 10! Really bad design as normal people like me can't spend 100's of hours to figure out a simple task like adding or deleting a contact.
