You don't have to include that someone to your contact list in order to email him/her.

You can just simply type the address into the To box.

If you do want to add that person to your contact list...............

To access your main contact list:

Open outlook.com > top left next to the logo Outlook, there is a down arrow > click the arrow > click People > All your contacts are now listed on the left. Scroll down to see each contact.

How to add a new contact to your Contact List :

at the same People window , toolbar at top, click New > fill in the required info > click Save when done > the new contact is now included in your contact list.

Answer 2

... top left next to the logo Outlook, there is a down arrow"   NO THERE ISN'T!!!

There was in April 2013 when that post was made. There isn't now, two years later, because they changed it. Now you have to click on the window panes  in the top left-hand corner and select  to get to your contacts list.

Hey! I am an old dog.  These new tricks confuse me.  Luckily my great grandson came by to show me.  He comes around every week to open my childproof containers.

Answer 4

Please send him round here, then. My mobile phone goes silent every time I pick it up and I need someone to come and make it ring again 

Answer 5

Guess what?  I might know this one.  The phone has a volume control.  If you answer it just the right (wrong) way you can accidently  shut off the ringer.   I have the same trouble with touch screens.  Everything I "touch" goes away.  Sometimes far... far... away.   I am learning.  I started to wear cotton gloves with ONLY one finger cut off.  It keeps the screen cleaner.
