When I click on my People / Contacts in Office, the left panel is completely blank (where my contacts should be). My emails are in the right panel from having clicked to People from Email. I am not able to see, add, or access my contacts at all in Outlook now. I have in the past and I know I have contacts stored in Outlook.

    Christine,

    I just checked a couple of my outlook email accounts and it appears that contacts is working again! I have added a new one, and edited an existing one :)

    I found a way to show all contacts again in the new Outlook app on my PC. I still saw them on my outlook app on the phone, in the web-app and in the old Outlook. Here you go:

    Click on Windows settings ==>Apps==>installed Apps==>new Outlook==>click the 3 dots on the right side==>"extended" options==>repair if this doesn't help try reset ==> download newOutlook again and it works!

    Good luck!

    Thanks I will tuck this away in case I need it. My copy suddenly came right in late November after an overnight update so I assumed Microsoft was actually listening to what we were saying. Maybe not.
