Well this sucks
-
Last Friday my email in Outlook suddenly stopped working. Didn't receive any email, couldn't send any email. Decided to throw away my account and set it up again, sometime helps, for whatever reason. No emails are synced, but at least I still have those online. Folder are synced for some reason, so it's not like Outlook can't connect or anything. However, Outlook also decided to throw out all my contacts, and I don't have those online :| For some reason, those contacts can't sync to my email provider. Losing all my contacts really sucks big time. It seems to be an issue in Outlook since other email accounts aren't syncing either (although I think they were earlier). Anyone else have this problem? Also, anyone know if there's a way for me to restore my contacts?

Outlook is working fine for me ... Win 11, Outlook 2019 Version 2204 and Outlook 365 are both fine. I'd contact MS tech support - they are pretty helpful and can dial in to fix it.

Just fixed it by completely removing Office 365 and re-installing it. Contacts remain gone though :(

Samsung SideSync Smart Switch allows you to import your Outlook contacts into your Android contacts, and then, later, pull them back to Outlook (not just the old Outlook contacts). But it sounds like it is a little too late for that to work for you. And you would have to have a Samsung device (I think). (And it looks like you can't get SideSync any more...)

About a month ago my wife's Dell (W11) got a network driver update... Since then Outlook unable to connect the network (along with other but not all applications)... The truly nice part is that I can not roll back the driver... Checked on older (W10) Dell she used before and more or less has the same setup - Outlook still works... Conected Dell, they say it is MS... Didn't asked MS... It is me wife, who refuses to move on to some Linux edition...

I should get Exchange and just sync everything. I got stuck for two days without internet the last time I tried that though :~

Uugh!!! Good luck with whatever you try. You make me glad I've backed things up to my phone, although Murphy's Law can still strike!

Good backups? Another reason to have them. FYI you can backup Outlook contacts by File Export and selecting whatever format you want. I usually do something like that about 2-4 times a year for contacts. They don't change much. Usually some story like this reminds me to update them.
