Mail app update can't find contacts?


Recommended Posts

Are any of you guys experiencing this issue...

In the latest update to the Mail app released a few days ago, whenever I compose a new message, and click the add contacts button, the people app opens and says "this app uses email addresses and none of your contacts have any." -- my contacts have email addresses. Anyone else seeing this?

If you look at the sync options for the account that doesn't show contacts, there is no slider to choose to sync contacts / addresses

But if you add a 2nd Live account, the options appear for that account

Possibly because you can't disable those sync options for the main account, or possibly that is the bug

Same here, worked before update and now cant find any email addresses (both in terms of autocomplete and clicking the + to lookup an address). And agreed with the poster above, it'll be interesting how quick this gets fixed.

Also, has everyone with this issue got the new updates installed (not the app updates, but the system update).

Uninstalling and reinstalling it helped but it hasn't completely fixed the issue. It won't find all of my contacts.

Even though the contacts showed in People app, it didn't work properly until it finished syncing my contacts. Works fine now. Thanks!
