WINDOWS 10 USERS PLEASE NOTE --  Microsoft removed the ability to import these pictures in Windows 10. However we may find other ways to import pictures in a future release. 

TouchMail lets you replace the default origami images for senders you have in your Windows People app. To do this you must first add your social network and other accounts to the People app.
