Create a Contact

You can easily store information about your friends, family, and colleagues, as well as send messages to them, by using Outlook’s People module to create a contact for each person. Each contact can store a wide variety of information, such as a person’s first and last names, company name, email address, phone number, and street address.

If you already have contacts in a different account such as Google or iCloud, you do not need to enter those contacts manually. Instead, you can connect your other account to your Microsoft account, as described in Chapter 4.
