Re: setting up the people app on windows 10

Hi Brian,
This is how it worked for me. It took me a few hours to figure this out
LOL! When I imported my Gmail accounts into the mail app, those contacts
automatically imported into the people app. Really, the mail, people, and the
calendar apps all work together. Take care, guys!

10 Bobby, There are a couple of variables to involved in answering your question. Windows 10 has an app separate from, but closely allied with, the mail app called "People." It acts as the address book. I use Gmail and access it via IMAP on several different e-mail clients, including the Win10 mail app. The Win10 mail app has automatically synchronized my existing contacts in my gmail account that I use as my Microsoft account ID to my People app as well as those from the specific gmail account that I'm actually accessing via the mail app. If you have always created
your contacts in your local address book under Thunderbird, which is quite
likely, you can always export those contacts then import them via the web
interface for the e-mail account you've been using. From there the People
app will synchronize them automatically for any account that is in the mail
& people apps. I have yet to find good documentation on doing an
import from, for instance, a comma separated list or excel spreadsheet of e-mail
addresses straight into the People app. It seems to presume you'll be
using a modern e-mail client that synchronizes both messages and contacts with
the server. Never underestimate the difficulty of changing false beliefs by facts.
