Hi Peter Nelson (peter.nelson),

Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community.

Based on your description, I know your requirement. In fact, new outlook for mac does not have contact lists now. So the icon is greyed out. You can get more detailed information from New outlook for mac.

Microsoft is updating their products based on customers' need, believe this feature will be available soon. Please be patient to wait for some time. If you want to use this feature now, you can change back to the old outlook as the document said at any time. Your understanding and patience are highly appreciated.

Thanks for your precious time. Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Katherine

    WORKAROUND !!

    I have the same problem in the "New Outlook" as everyone else.... so:

    1. Create a New Message
    2. Populate the To: with all of the contacts you want on your list
    3. File>>Save as Template (Name your template the name of your contact list)

    Next time you want to send to that list:

    1. File>>New>>Email from Template (choose your template)
    2. Voila
    3. You're welcome. 😎

    Thank you so much!

    I don’t have that option under the Outlook preferences “New Outlook option”. I have the newest Outlook for Mac. Ugh….

    Hello All,

    I was able to solve this by doing the following:

    1: In Outlook-Preferences I unchecked the "New Outlook" option. This required a close and restart of outlook.

    2: After Outlook had restarted I went into Outlook-Preferences-PersonalSettings-General, and in there I then had the option under "Sidebar" to uncheck "Hide On My Computer folders".

    After these two steps I am now able to create a "New Contact List". I hope this helps.

    Thanks

    Mark

    Genius! Thanks, Mark :)
