How do I put contacts in my computer so i can send emails out

Here's something .. it appears you cannot add the special folder types of Contact Items, nor Calendar Items, as Favorite "shortcuts" in the Mail view of Outlook.

This fact is hidden very subtly in the first sentence at the MS Office link:

Favorites is the section located at the top of the folder pane and lets you keep frequently used mail folders easily available. You won’t have to scroll through the Folder Pane to find the folder that might be several levels deep within the Folder Pane.

*lets you keep ... mail folders easily available.

A contact folder is of type "Contact Items", similarly the calendar folder is of type "Calendar Items", where Mail folders are of type "Mail and Post Items"

Is adding contact to favorites will trigger message for that same contact, that someone had added you in favorites? likewise if we add any contact from LYNC or Skype for business it send notification about it.

Dear Team, I want add contact in outlook 2013.But problem is that,When i select mail ID from inbox and try to add in outlook contact show only the add in favourite,Not show option add in outlook contact. Please help me.

if you don't see "add to favorites" make sure you are in "mail" view on the navigation pane (bottom left corner) and not "folders" view. (click on the envelope icon). i also noticed that if you are using a contact card to save info like a password, so there is no phone number or email address, there is no actual 'contact" therefore outlook won t let you add to favorites. just add a name, email, phone number and you will be able to save to favorites.

Is this gone in Outlook 2016? I dont have the add to and remove from options after the upgrade. They were all there before, and were something that I used regularly.

I am looking at the section: "Add a specified contact to favorites when reading an email in Outlook 2013" I do not see an option to Add to Favorites when I right click on the profile picture. My only options are: Copy Edit Contact Copy Contact Card
