MicrosoftDear Microsoft 365 Support Team / New Outlook Product Team,
The option to share a user's contacts is currently unavailable in the New Outlook for Windows, and this functionality is not listed on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap as of February 2026. In contrast, calendar sharing works seamlessly. Given that implementing this essential feature does not appear technically challenging, we question whether Microsoft intentionally prefers an alternative sharing method at a philosophical or design level.
Could you please confirm if we should simply await the addition of this option in a future update, or if it will never be enabled? If the latter, what official solution does Microsoft recommend for this basic yet critical requirement across all organizations?
P.S.: Executive secretaries manage executives' contacts but must not receive full mailbox access.
Thank you, Best regards.
