My contacts are gone. I upgraded to the "new" outlook a couple months ago and now realize I have no contacts. I tried looking for a CVS file but I found none. I tried reverting back to Outlook 2019 but still no contacts. Please note, I upgraded from Windows Mail. I never used Outlook 2019.

    Why does MS continue to make changes to its products that disrupt productivity of the end users before determining the impact to the end users?! The people making these changes are programmers. Programmers don't work or think like end users who work in offices or have jobs that require this software. They make changes they think are "cool" to them, but they actually drive end users crazy when the ways they've been accustomed to working are suddenly compromised or prevented.

    I don't see anything that looks like a funnel. Can you please provide a screenshot?

    I use a single computer version of Outlook and this morning, after an apparent update, my Contacts were gone. Mail and Calendar are still there. I switched off the "new" Outlook but still gone. Is there anything I can do to recover them?

    Hi Diane

    Problem solved. Went into Windows Mail/Contacts/Settings/Filter Contacts and found that Recent Contacts was not ticked. Ticked it and my contacts returned. How it got turned off is a mystery as I had never been in this area before.

    My 2 cents. I cant be bothered with the new Web Outlook. It's a pain in the !@#. Even the actual Outlook program is a pain to manage contacts. Even to get them to order in a specific fashion you have to research how to do it then hope it works.

    Like everything Microsoft, bloated, underwhelming and in dire need of overhaul.
