Finally, if you select one, several, or all your contacts, you can print them as memos, business cards, or a phone list. The long and short of it is that you could use Windows Contacts to manage your contacts, but you probably just defer to the the address book in Outlook or Gmail, or whatever you use for your primary e-mail.

When you open a new message in Mail for Windows 10, start typing a contact's name or email address and Mail for Windows 10 will search the People app and display a list of suggestions for you to choose from. If the program can't find the right person, you can choose Search Directory.
If you add an Outlook. If you know the contact's name or email address, you can start typing the first few letters of their name or email address and Mail for Windows 10 will suggest matching contacts.
Note: You can't remove contacts from the list of suggested contacts. Choose a contact to add their email address to the To line of your email. If no match is found or the suggestions don't include the address you need, choose Search Directory. In the lower left corner of Windows 10, choose the Start button. Begin typing People , and in the left pane, when Windows suggests the People app, choose the app to open it.
Note: The contact name you choose must have a valid email address. When you are prompted to choose an email app, click Mail. If it applies, check the Always use this app box. The app will attempt to consolidate certain contacts together -- you might see the option to contact someone via Facebook Chat or Windows Messenger, for example. But from my time with the software, this doesn't yet work with any degree of accuracy and there's no option to merge contacts manually.
What you can do, if you click through to the individual contact pages, is make edits to the 'real-life' data stored with each contact covering email addresses, postal addresses, phone numbers and so on. Right-click on a blank part of the contact screen and choose Edit to do this. How many of the fields are pre-populated will depend on which service the contact has been imported from, so Google contacts will already display much of this real-world data, while Twitter contacts won't.
Also available on the right-click menu are options to 'favourite' contacts or pin them to the Start page. This means you can pick out important contacts from the mass of profiles that have been imported. Favourite contacts are listed at the start of the People page, while those that are pinned to the Metro Start page are given an animated tile that rotates between their designated profile picture and their most recent social network update.
Click the 'What's new' heading at the top of the People app to see a stream of updates from the social networks you've chosen to connect, listed in chronological order. This being Windows 8, each update is given its own tile on screen. Pictures from Twitter and Facebook are shown in-line where available, while links you click on are opened up in the Metro version of Internet Explorer.
Click into the update itself and you can reply, favourite and retweet if using Twitter , or add a comment or a like Facebook. Everything is skinned with the simple Metro user interface and Microsoft has done a decent job of making everything feel as seamless as possible.
Click the Me heading, next to What's new, and you'll see notifications from your Twitter and Facebook accounts, including recent replies and updates. Scroll to the right to see recent photos attached to your Facebook account -- if you want to see all of the pictures you've uploaded to Facebook and your other networks, you'll need to open the Metro Photos app.
The Photos app takes a similar approach to the People one, in that you can plug in all kinds of accounts to seamlessly browse pictures as if they were all in one place. Microsoft's own cloud-based online file-storing service, SkyDrive, is supported.
