I click on the blue New Contact button & nothing happens. There is no error message. I have cleared the Outlook cache. I also did Quick Repair & Online Repair but I still cannot add new contacts.

    Thanks, but for some reason the next day all my contacts were there and I could then add new ones.

    I too have this problem with Outlook. I can see my Contacts list but not each contact's information. I cannot add a new contact either.

    Hi all,

    The ISSUE IS RESOLVED for my mailbox.

    I just tested this in "New Outlook" and in OWA.

    I can now create new contacts, view and edit existing contacts.

    I have no idea what they did to fix the issue for me but I suspect the issue will be resolved for everyone impacted very soon if it is not already resolved.

    How do I get to that screen? I don't see the "offline" option.
