Office 365 (Thunderbird) - Create a contact
You can capture and organize information about people by creating contacts. Contacts are like electronic cards that store a person's information. A contact can be as basic as a name and email address, or include more information like a street address, multiple phone numbers, and a photo.
Important: The contacts you manage within Thunderbird are not saved to your Office 365 account. They can only be used within Thunderbird. Plus, any contacts you have created using a client that is connected via Exchange/Active Sync (Outlook | Apple Mail | Outlook Web App) cannot be accessed via Thunderbird.
