As you pick through the hundreds of spam messages, open a message and right
click on the From name and then click on Add to Outlook Contacts on the
shortcut menu.

Another thought. Outlook 2003 Help returned this:
"Add Contacts from MAPILab Ltd. automatically adds e-mail addresses to the
Microsoft Office Outlook® Contacts folder when you reply to a message or
send a new message. This helps you avoid losing the addresses of people you
correspond with. The collected addresses can also be used for mail
filtering-for example, messages from certain senders can be placed in a
separate folder to ensure that they receive greater priority and that no
important messages are lost with deleted spam."

The F1 key has never broken anything!

Hi DHUN,



You mean save email address of replied emails to contacts...



This feature is present only in Outlook 2000. If you wish this feature in
Outlook 2002 or 2003 you must use add-ins. An example of an add-in for this
is Bells & Whistles for Outlook. You can find it at this link:

Since this strand is quite old, I want to clarify if it is still true for
Outlook 2007 - did Microsoft REALLY not add a feature that captures email
addresses once you receive one to put into the contacts/address book? How
inane can this be?

All versions of Outlook require the end user to add a sender or recipient
purposefully. That is intentional. The vast majority of users prefer it that
way.
R click Add to Contacts works fine. Few of us want Outlook deciding whom
to add to our Contacts. We prefer to decide ourselves.
