Google Mail: Add Someone to Your Contacts

Google Mail automatically adds new email addresses (ones that are not already in your Google Contacts) to your Other Contacts group when you send an email or use the Reply, Reply All, or Forward functions.

Note: If you do not want contacts to be automatically added, scroll down to the “Create contacts...” section in your Google Mail Settings. Click the radio button for “I’ll add contacts myself.”

You can also manually add someone to your Google Contacts by completing the following steps:

5. Enter the name of the contact. If the contact appears in the resulting list of options, click on the contact. If the contact does not appear, click [Create] to create a new contact.
