Why won't Windows 10 contacts from email save?

[Windows Central Question]

Windows 10 Contact from email will not save

I am trying to add an email address from an existing email from the Windows 10 Mail app to the Windows 10 People app. I click the email adress, click OPEN CONTACT, click SAVE. It does not save. Instead, it opens my list of contacts and asks me to "Choose a contact". I have to be able to save new contacts from my emails I receive. Does anyone have a solution?

Thank you,

Kim
