Save recieved contacts to own contacts
If it is Forwarded as an outlook contact, you should be able to open the attachment then click Save and Close to add it to the default contacts. Ignore the read-only part - it won't be editable until it's saved and reopened. (contacts forwarded as vcf will be editable before save and close)
Or you can drag the attachment to People and drop - that will add it to the default contacts folder too.
sadly not. The link explains .vcf, but I was talking about a contact send as "Outlook item" aka .msg. Right-clicking that item does not give me a direct "Save to own contacts" option (hint:hint:dev: which would b nice)

- Diane,
thanks for the drag and drop to People option, honestly I guess I would have never though about that one, but it is by far the best option (although the direct save button in the ribbon wouldnt hurt either, would it?)
Thank you!!!Save or Save & Close isn't adding it to contacts? Opening either appointment or contacts attached to email and saving them should add them to the default folder for your account.
- It does not, which is why I opened this thread in the first place 😉
