I have a couple of outlook/hotmail addresses that I only use for access to W10 and have no desire to inform/confuse 1000 people that I have a new address. However pretty W10 Mail looks on my desktop, it's nevr going to import those folders of addresses by the method from that link as 'People' app is not the solution for desktop. I guess I'll have to stick with Outlook 2010 and do my serious emailing from the desktop with Gmail and Email from my android for one-off mails.
