Automatically add/save e-mail addresses to address book...

[Guest]

When typing an e-mail address to a new contact I would like Outlook to
automatically add/save that e-mail address to my contacts. How do I do this?
I searched all MS help for an hour and found nothing. I am using Outlook 2003.

You would have found the answer if you searched here. It's posted

No full versions of Outlook ever had the ability to add recipients
automatically to your Contacts Folder. Only the long abandoned IMO mode of
Outlook 98/2000 did that. To automatically add the email address of people
you respond to to your Contacts Folder requires code:

If you're typing in the address to a new contact, then just click Save and
Close when you're done. That will save the contact you're creating.
