Cannot edit a contact's email address
And it always will be, because it's not a simple text field like a person's name. The email "field" is actually 3 separate properties -- the display name, the address, and the type of email address. You'll need to open the contact record to edit it.

In this screen, the email field is uneditable still. |

Cannot edit a contact's email address
Well that's the problem: how do you want to adapt ten email domain
names just because the company changed? (I have this problem, and passed by this thread for finding a solution) Currently you need to remove them completely and create new ones... you can not just edit them: cut off the old domain name and paste the new one. In my opinion I would like to have a usable user interface: the fact that this field exists of three fields is none of my bussiness.. I want to be able to just edit the field like any other field. Just like a car has a brake, steering wheel, and so one... it's not because the engine is in the back of some cars that the pedals are in the back to! Although it could be easier for the car engineer! That's by the way the problem of most newer software products: engineers like to create intelligent wisdom in their software, but if you want to do something different than what the engineer had in mind than you are screwed! I may say this as I'm myself a software engineer... so I know what I'm talking about. So in my opinion, this feature is a bug by design. Hope that it will be solved in next version of outlook.
