Typically, Outlook contacts are not lost but misplaced when installing Outlook or upgrading to a new operating system. When you upgrade to a new version of Outlook on a new or existing computer, this could occur. After the changes, your contacts may not show up in your Outlook e-mail address book when you try to send an e-mail. For example, when you open a new e-mail in Outlook and click the “To:” button, it brings up the address book.
