I chased my microsoft contact on this again yesterday as something was due around April 28th, their response was:
"We were on track to the rollout but we were hit by a road block. We are actively trying to resolve the issue. I will get back to you on the updated timeline by tomorrow/day after."

Does not work.
Had one user today not finding a contact list, he had switched to the new Outlook, and sure we can add them in Old Outlook and have the contacts show up in the people tab, but still nothing alike for the New Outlook.- technonathJul 24, 2023Iron Contributor
Paypercorn - in case you haven't seen it - Microsoft have now released the toggle.
Hi all,
Based on your feedback to use public folders, we are providing you with a toggle to switch to the old People Hub experience on Outlook Webapp to use Public folders. You can continue to use the new experience if you do not use Public folders.
Public folders are available to view in "To:" in compose scenario in mail.
Thanks,
