How to display contacts as "List" in the new Outlook?
Hello,
In the classic version of Outlook, I used to display my contacts as "List" (clicking on "View" in the toolbar and then "Change view" and then "List". It was very convenient for me.
Now, in the "New Outlook", when I click on "View" there is only "People settings" with one option: choosing between displaying by first name or last name.
I really don't like the way contacts are displayed by default in the new Outlook and I really need to find a way to display them as a list like in the classic version.
Thank you in advance for your help.

The new outlook people list is still not able to show contacts in the familiar grid list - very disappointing. Only choices are first and last names. I hate even thinking about finding my contact at a certain customer and sorting through random 28 names instead of a list showing me all the - titles/address etc.

I also recommend that you provide Microsoft with this feedback. They do watch the feedback portal closely. Then post your feedback link in this thread so others can vote on it.

#traccreations4e-r25 4/26/2025Currently the contacts in New Outlook has just one option for viewing. I hope they will advance this as time goes on due to CRM systems and folks using a lot of fields in their current Outlook Classic contacts.
I would like to know this as well. Microsoft Team??
The new look would be great if every business user only utilized a table or phone, however, since we are using computers, how about considering the list view since that would be the best option.
