Save contact information from a Windows Mail message

You can use Windows Contacts to store names, e‑mail addresses, and other information about people and organizations. Windows Mail is designed to integrate with Windows Contacts, making it easy to copy names and e‑mail addresses from Windows Mail messages to new contacts.

  1. Open a Windows Mail message from the person or organization you want to add to your Windows Contacts.

  2. Right-click the name of the sender displayed in the From box of the message, and then click Add to Contacts.

    A new contact opens that displays the name and e‑mail address of the sender.

  3. Add any other information you want to the contact (such as the contact's phone number or street address), and then click OK. The new contact will be saved in your Contacts folder.
