Lost Outlook Contacts
Hi. I upgraded a friend from Office 2016 to Office 2024 and in the process lost her contacts. I have worked at finding them but no luck. Plan B is populate her contact list from her messages. Is it possible to either collect addresses from a set of emails and move those addresses to the contact list? Or even just go to each message individually and right-click on an address and send to contacts? (not an option now) Or can you suggest any other option? Thanks.

Can you not see the contacts on MS365 web/outlook? Nothing worse than losing data, I hope you get them back. Contactzilla might work in future if you want a backup.
Yes, you can export the folder those messages are in to a csv-file and then import the senders as contacts in your Contacts folder.
