I need to edit contacts and there are no editing tools.
How did this happen?
What is the solution?!?!?!
Why are there no fixes on this thread? -

We all have the same problem, can't edit a contact and when deleted, that still shows up as the contact. No one seems to be telling us how to handle this problem. Darn outlook, you have wrecked me one too many times. After all these years I have to change over and everything I have kept since I will need I won't be able to use anymore. Why?????

I'm not able to edit a contact to add an email. When I click 'Edit Contact' for an existing record, I don't get an option to update it.

Why are my contact lists not associated with my contacts? I can not edit my existing contact lists. I can not edit my lists.

Totally agree with Tomo's comment. The edit button that used to be on the screen has disappeared completely, and your answer in the Help section is useless.

I am trying to edit a contact by getting rid of one of the email addresses that are listed for that contact and it will not let me do that.

you deliberately murky up contacts (People) what ever your current reference to emails addresses. What are "Recent Contacts", why they do not show up under all contacts, and why we cannot edit, delete, clear, or do anything about them?

It's a problem you can't edit a wrong formulated email address. Why the **** do you insist on this stupid Apple inspired getup? I may seriously have to consider a new email provider.

Editing a Contact: Why is it that, when I edit a contact in my contact list to their new email address, the new address shows up in my contact list from then on but, when I go to New Message to send that contact an email, the address is the old one that supposedly has been deleted and the new edited address never shows up? This happens over and over.

Just tried to edit to add address. There is nothing in the box that opens up.
Again, do you check your work? This isn't 3rd grade math class.

Ditto Jim, I edit the contact info in People and Contacts then, when typing addresses in my email the OLD email address comes up again. E.g. my contact changed their address from hotmail to gmail. The edit did nothing.

This is very frustrating......I change the email address in an existing contact. Days later the change is in the information of the contact but the thumbnail on the left with the person's name shows the old email address. And when I'm starting a new email and type the person's name in, it brings up the old email address

cannot edit contacts or delete them. There should be an easy to find button to edit or delete. I have looked everywhere and find nothing. (How can you overlook the most fundamental needs of the contact list?)

Something is very wrong. The Outlook page keeps reloading in Safari and will not save contacts or contact lists. When I try to send an email a message appears saying I have been signed out of email.

Unable to edit contacts' information. One contact has an old email address that I can't remove, another contact has the right birthdate that appears incorrectly in the calendar.
