Create New Outlook Contacts from E-mail Sent to You

    If someone you'd like to add to your list of contacts sends you a message or meeting request, or is included on one of these items that you receive, you don't have to manually enter all the contact information about that person. You can automatically enter their name and e-mail address by following the procedure below.

 Add a contact from a message

1. In the open e-mail message or meeting request, in the From, To or Cc field, right-click the name you want to add to Contacts, and then click Add to Contacts on the shortcut menu.  When the entry for the contact opens, the name and e-mail address are filled in for you. If you want, add any other information for the contact.

2. Click the Save and Close button on the toolbar.
