Gmail app: Can you add emails

[wigfield]

Can you add email addresss in the gmail app,Say im walking down the road i get talking to a old mate and they say ill give you my email can i enter the email through the app,Or do i have to go through the gmail account?

sure can.

should be able to just send him an email, and it auto-saves everyone you send one to.

if you wanted, you can just add him as a contact instead, with an email attached.

Well so far i dont have any saved email address when ive sent emails,There isn't even a tab saying contacts in the gmail app.

Do you have to log on your gmail account to see the contacts?

Im very lost here i just want to add email address in the gmail app

EDIT: O i see in the gmail app you tap on the plus sign and a load of email address comes up,So next issue how do i add the name of that person so i dont send emails to the wrong person.

No you can't, at least that's how it appears to me (after looking at the Gmail app on 3 different Android devices). You add a contact using the Contact app, and fill in the email address. Probably should make sure that it goes into the Gmail list rather than some other one.

BTW, I also looked at Gmail on my PC, where it's also called Contacts.

If you just want to enter the email address somewhere without creating a Contect item, then create a Draft message with it in. or use a Memos app or something else. I would probably create a Contact but otherwise I'd probably use Evernote.
