all my contacts in outlook disappeared. how to retrieve?

Thank you for your reply. I have all my contacts in the old outlook but none of them are in the new outlook. My email works fine in the new version. I need to know how to get my contacts in the new version.

Hallo,

Here's how I retrieved mail and contacts when they disappeared from my Outlook (older version, not the new one). I clicked View in the ribbon, then Folder Panes, then Normal. Evidently, they were there all along but were not displayed.

I recommend switching to the new Outlook for those who are having problems with Outlook's many quirks. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles, is still a bit quirky, but I can function with it. I have two accounts there, one Comcast and one Gmail. When I'm using the Gmail account, the calendar and contacts are synchronized with Google Calendar and Google Contacts.

There are lots of people who have this problem including myself. Yet nobody has provided a solution. Will MicroSoft organizatiom please do something to help and to stop this happening any more!!!
