Contacts Missing From "New" Outlook After Upgrade From Windows Mail

Now I'm even more confused. If I start typing a contact name the email address completes automatically, thus it must be in my contacts. But if I click on the people symbol for my contacts, it is empty. Any ideas? I'd like to see them so I can see who is there and edit if necessary.

And another pain. If I click on an external email link it properly opens up a new pre-addressed email, just as it should, in my name. But if I want it to come from my wife's account, there is no way of changing the sender, at least as far as I can discover.

I'd give you a ten out five stars if I could!!

My sentiments exactly which is why I'm working on getting away from MSFT products.

I cannot believe someone is so STUPID to create a "NEW OUTLOOK" then force people to use it but it DOES NOT import the contacts from the old outlook. This is why I ended my 40 year career in IT, no one knows **** they're doing anymore, they are sloppy and careless... (Think Crowdstrike update). All that aside, the options thus far seem to SUCK!!

EVERYTHING MSFT is a work in progress and NONE are ever finished correctly.

All the BS this has caused people notwithstanding, I'm sure MSFT feels "we take our customers and our products very seriously. You are very important to us". Insert eye-rolling image here.

Personally, I'm trying to find alternatives to MSFT but have further issues since I use certain software for Windows. I thought I was doing a good thing a decade or two ago but....................................

Hope you get your contacts straightened out.

If I'd known New Outlook was a work in progress, I'd not have started using it. Very disappointing that the contact system does not share to all email accounts. Really disappointed with this. And the fact that a Windows 10 update deleted all my contacts and email accounts from my old laptop completely. So having to recreate an extensive contact list again, from scratch... :(
