How to quickly add new contacts from email to Outlook address book?
Manually adding new contacts from emails to your Outlook address book can be tedious and time-consuming, especially when dealing with multiple emails. While Outlook offers a built-in method to create a contact from an open email, it requires several steps for each contact, making it inefficient for bulk additions.
For a faster and more efficient way, Kutools for Outlook provides the Add the Senders and Multiple Recipients of the Selected Emails to Contacts feature, allowing you to add multiple contacts at once with minimal effort.
