    I am trying to locate my Contacts list. It disappeared when I moved to a new computer. Almost all of them are gone. I did not delete anything.

    My contacts in Outlook® disappeared at about the same time that I got a notice that my Microsoft 365 OneDrive was full (5 gb storage) and I'd no longer receive email in Outlook® (as of August 1 late afternoon, that occured as threatened). I just changed to the new Personal Family plan (which is also what I had previously except I'd get more storage...1 TB). Getting the new subscription resulted in the emails importing almost immediately (after restarting my computer). However, I can only access one single contact in Outlook® out of a couple of thousand contacts, I don't know where to go to recover them, I was not the one that deleted them.

    Hi

    I have Office 365 for Mac, a recent software update seemed to have caused issues with Outlook, one of them being all my contacts disappeared from the people folder.
