- To create a new contact from scratch, go to "New Items > Contact" in the Home tab or press Ctrl+Shift+C: enter as little as one piece of information and click "Save & Close".
- Add contacts from emails: save yourself some typing and load the email in the Reading Pane (or double-click to open it). Right-click on the "From" field.
Choose "Add to Outlook Contacts": Outlook 2010 will create a new address book entry, and open a dialog prepopulated with as much information as it could gather from the sender. - To edit a contact later on, right-click in the From area and choose "Lookup Outlook Contact". To access all contacts, press Ctrl+3 (not on numpad), or click on the business card icon at the bottom of the Navigation Pane, and double-click on any contact card to update it.
- An option allows you to make Outlook 2010 automatically add contacts as you email new people: to confirm that this setting is enabled, click on "File" (top left), and choose "Options".
- Select "Contacts" on the left, and check the "Automatically create Outlook contacts for recipients that do not belong to an Outlook Address Book" checkbox at the bottom (right).
