I bought a new computer with New Outlook installed. My old computer used Classic Outlook. Everything but my contacts migrated over smoothly. What's the fix?

Hi Audra,

To further check on this, can you please confirm whether the account was setup as IMAP? If yes, then it’s a normal behavior. IMAP only syncs email, not contacts, calendars, or tasks.

The best workaround to proceed is export contacts from Classic Outlook and re‑import them into an Exchange/Outlook.com account, or temporarily use Classic Outlook on your new PC to manage contacts.
