I'm hoping someone out there can help me sort this out finally...

Our org has a group of members, all external to our organization (none have an org domain name email), who we all email on a regular basis. I have created a "contact list" through the people tab in Outlook, and added all those contacts to the list. My question is very simple...

How do I share that contact list with my coworkers?

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    Welcome to the world of Microsoft where everything is more complicated and less intuitive than you could ever imagine.

    It's definitely not there on the new outlook.

    I can no longer use classic as it can't cope with the number of diaries I manage. So I have to just put up with non-functionality.

    I'm also having the same issue - really need this to be fixed. I saw someone say you can export the contact list and share it that way (what is this? 1995?). I tried to export my list but it just showed up with headers and no actual contacts. This is really frustrating as I have contact groups of over 100 people and sharing this list with other individuals is an absolute pain!

    That you cannot do this is inhibiting our company to switch to the new outlook and go all web-based. It is crucial to be able to collaborate on a shared contact list. I mean it can´t be that much more dificult than sharing a calender??
