Now when I go to my contacts list, I can't find the option that allows me to add contacts to one of my groups. I could find it earlier, but suddenly it's gone.

Looks like a HOAX to me.
Just got into this iMac a month ago. On Saturday I did some straightening up.   Now I can't find anything that I have done in Outlook. Two actions may have been the factor:
1.  I moved the folder containing Microsoft User Data which was stowed in a Documents folder to a different folder in Documents
2. I turned on the Outlook menu item Sync Services.  
Then I wandered off to have a weekend.
Today I tried to launch Outlook and all of my data - inbox, saved folders full of sent and received messges, thousands of contacts in a score of folders, reminders, you name it, gone!
It told me that the database needed to be rebuilt and that process failed several times. Then it said it worked, but my Accounts and all the data are still MIA.
While a file called Database dated September 7 exists in my Main Identity folder there appears no way to open it.  To be exact, now, under Office 2011 Identity there are two folders, Main Identify (with Data records folder, file called Database dated today with 22.6 MB and file called Database copy dated September 7 with 157.2MB.  This is the one I would like to get at as that is where the information should be. The other folder is called Main Identity [Backed up...Date info being today and that appears completely useless.
Needless to say this situation is extremely frustrating. It had taken a month of rearranging of my historic data from a PC to achieve a highly organized system...which is gone 
:( 
Help would be gratefully accepted.

How do I add new contacts to a group in Hotmail now that it has changed to people?  I can't even open the group to see who is already in it!  This is a rediculous change - not at all user friendly.Please help

1.  How do I open a group to see who is in it?

2.  How can I add/delete people in that group?

3.  How can I send that group so that others can use it?

 

I moved "Microsoft User Data" so my emails are in the wrong path.   Does anyone know how to restore them?
