how do I add new contacts to the list in Outlook?

true that

It is not there. It does not ask to add. It//they are not in people. Ive sent and received emails from a friend of mine from and to three different email addresses. Ive been told to right click on name. Get contact is not in your list. I have synced. contact is not in my list. I have right clicked clicked on people clicked on down arrow under people contacts etc. there is a more button and all that says is print or sync. None of your solutions work! period! works in windows 7. These are cloud pcs on 8.1 perhaps that makes a difference? dunno but this one is all cloud based and it doesn't work period!!! what the heck did ever happen to right clicking anyway????? These are half android and half pc's and the two obviously do not work together!! esp. when were using an android and not a windows phone. manipulate much ms?

No No NO , CAN'T GET IT ON MY E- MAIL LIST !!

Hi Richard,

I am facing the same issue that this user is reporting. I have no way to add someone that I just sent an email to or to add someone from whom I Just received an email, unless I go to People and add them from scratch! This process is very inconvenient, especially when I could just added them with a right click on Hotmail or in the desktop version of the Outlook.

I am using a laptop with the latest windows 8.1 OS and the latest IE version, whatever that is. I am doing my best to stay with MS products, but I agreed with one of the users in the forum that MS is taking away nice/convenient functions that people want and force-feeding functions or ways of doing things that are inconvenient and time-wasting! I don't understand why!

Please help!

Thanks,

John
