Just recently got a new computer and was pleased to see that it came ready to handle email. However, when I looked more closely I saw some things that puzzled me. Mainly: there seems to be no provision for saving & listing all the email addresses of folks I might write to. My old system had a "contacts" box where I could save that type of info & simply click & drag whenever I needed to print an addressee on outgoing mail. I realize (or at least I think I do) that whoever set the system up for me last time had set it up to use a third party so that it would be super easy on me.... and I appreciate that, but I am still left wondering HOW I am supposed to use this new system. I come to "the forum" last because I do not want to trouble its members with questions that I am sure are so basic & trivial to so many members here. I have searched "the web" as well as my reading companion: "Windows 10 For Seniors". That book just simply says that whenever you want to send an outgoing mail you must TYPE IN the email address of the recipient. And I gotta tell ya, Guys - I can think of few instances in modern life where "advances" have carried us so far into the dim & distant past. Is this REALLY what all this modern technology has come to? Is this REALLY what some consider to be an improvement?... For all those who feel inclined to reply & comment please accept my most sincere "Thanks"....FredT

Most of the email systems used now have the contacts online - meaning that you see them in the email system when you log in to them. You'd have to download and install an email client to use locally.

If you're talking about the Win 10 Mail client this might help

Win 10 Mail and People Client

I don't use the Mail or People client, they're a little too "clicky" for me. For my outlook account I use outlook.com and for my gmail account I use gmail.com. Admittedly I haven't really given them much of a chance but I'm just a creature of habbit.

On Windows 10, it is the "People" app.

It polls all of your online services like Gmail or iCloud, and consolidates all of the contact information into one place.

Yeah, People. I don't use it. You can't uninstall it, but it has a "Terminate" button in Apps & features. Just FYI
