You can automatically create a contact in Outlook for Mac for anyone who sends you a message. After you add a sender to your contacts, Outlook doesn't classify future messages from that sender as junk mail.

  1. In the message list, click the message.

    Tip

    If the message is part of a conversation, expand the conversation, and then select the message that you want.

  2. In the Message window, select the Sender, select Show more, and select Add to Contacts.

  3. In the Contact window, select Save.

Note

Outlook saves any information about the sender that is stored in the Exchange Global Address List (GAL), such as company name, job title, department, telephone number, and email address.
