Contact list grayed out in Outlook for Mac

LOL you must be kidding?

So its 2024, is this still a feature we mac users can't access?

Thanks,

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

let us all get real .... Microsoft couldn't give a damn about customer needs. They are an enormous company with a universe full of money and global clout. They have no empathy with the public who make their billions. I also don't understand the purpose or significance of these feedback forums ... they ignore the public's views or post non committal or even baseless promises. People leaving MS for another app is of little concern to them, there is no incentive or indeed desire by them to give the public what they need or want. I could perhaps understand their lack of initiative if the request was a severe technical challenge but this is so far from the truth as to be laughable. Sadly the danger of such an attitude is that MS, and other enormous enterprises, become all controlling with the sting in the tail that it is the public who fund them to do so.

Oh it totally is. And you figure they'd have copilot and an intern (re)implement it.
