Create a Contact From an E-Mail

Work smarter, not harder!

Outlook tip – Quickly add the sender of a message to your Contacts list!

Example: You have received an e-mail from someone you would like to contact in the future and you want to add them to your Contacts list. Rather than create the new contact then go back to the e-mail to get the e-mail address, use this tip to do it all in one step.

  1. In an open e-mail address, in the “From” area, right-click the name of the sender to add to your Contacts list. A list of options appears.
  2. Click Add to Outlook Contacts. A Contact form appears with the sender’s name and e-mail address filled in.
  3.  Edit the contact as desired.
  4. On the “Contact” tab, in the “Actions” group, click Save & Close.

Watch the Outlook shortcut video below for a great example on how to create a contact from an e-mail you have received.
