I access my work Outlook online and am no longer able to add new contacts. I do not see the option for "Add New Contact" anywhere. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Have you found a solution?

    If you create a new email and manually add someone's email address in the to or cc area you can then right click on the email address and create a new contact that way. This will work at least until MS can fix the issue.

    Same!! Working one minute, gone the next! My IT department thought I was crazy, but it appears to be a widespread problem.

    I also tried just typing in a new email in the search bar and then got an "Add to Contacts" button. But I don't know if this is because the email may have shown up for me in a distribution list. Need to test with a totally new email I've never seen before.

    Thought I was going crazy. I was able to add a contact from an email. Hovered on the email and could see "add to contacts." But still can't figure out how to add a totally new one. Haven't lost data
