    My Contacts are missing from Microsoft Outlook address book. My emails and everything are there but the Address Book was not included. How do I get my contacts back?
    I’ve recently switched to a new computer with Outlook 2016 on it. I’ve successfully configured my account and just imported my pst-file from Outlook 2007.

    Dear Dexter
    You have to check the People Module or Contact folder and see that if the folder consist your contact or not. This arrises because of foder not been set in Outlook Address book or the service of the Address Book is broken.

    Dear Dexter
    There is also a solution for it. If the contact is not in the Contact folder then you need to do a little workaround.
    Is your Old Computer working,
    If yes then Copy the original pst-file from your Old Computer to your new one or take a fresh copy of your backup or the pst-file from the old computer
    Note: Don’t use Export to create Backup.

    Now load the pst-file in Outlook by following steps:
    1. Go to File
    2. Click on Open
    3. Go to Outlook Data file and try to load that.

    Dear Eddie
    Thanks for your help. It worked and some of the contacts are shown, but all the contacts are not displayed in the Address book. Some of the contacts are still missing.

    Dear Dexter and Eddie
    sometimes this method works and it usually solve the issue. But if you want to resolve this try to do it by simple way
    If you managed to find your contact in Pst-file. You have to select them all and Copy them to your contacts folder of your new pc. it will surely work.
