Please restore direct opening of Contacts in Microsoft 365
It is no longer possible to directly open a contact, e.g. from a list of search results. Instead one must choose "Edit contact" from a menu on a Contact Card. This has a serious negative impact on productivity. The earlier registry settings to "TurnOnLegacyGALDialog" are no longer applicable.
This change in functionality has engendered many complaints online, e.g.

Please provide a simple option (not a registry tweak) to disable Contact Cards and open Contacts directly.12 votes -
In the contact list, it would be nice to organize & separate a vendor from a customer or color code them.

when clicking on show more contact info in outlook, allow select and copy
after a search, click on result you like, you cannot drag the cursor to copy address or phone or anything in case you want to copy and paste it somewhere else. seems counter-intuitive.
come to think of it, what I'm always trying to do is add "location" and contact info to a calendar appt. seems like this should be much easier.

Outlook Contact Group Exportation
Two things:
1. I would like to be able to export an individual Outlook Contact Group to Excel as a .csv and have every field be included in the export without having to export all of my Outlook Contacts.- If this isn't possible then I would like to be able to use the "File/Save As" feature in the Outlook Contact Group window to save my Contact Group as a .txt file, open it in Excel, save as a .csv or .xlsx, and be able to see more fields from the export than just "Name" and "Email".

Monthly View = needs to show appoints (regardless of time)
Monthly View = needs to show appoints (regardless of time) rather than +#; I even have +1 shown and have to change view to hunt for it.

Provide an option or feature to return to older version to Search contacts so that you see all contact cards in Microsoft Outook
Previously, if I searched in Contacts, for, say the word "golf", I'd see the actual contact cards for everyone with that word in them, not just one person or a partial contact. Help. Please return to that.

Have contacts automatically re-assign the city and/or Zip/postal code into the correct fields as you type
Seems like we are missing some great pre-emptive search technology when it comes to entering in addresses by hand into contacts. Outlook should be able to guess when I'm typing a zip code or postal code and put in in the right field. Same for city and State. Let's have some auto-populating going on like we see with other Windows products.

Option to save/export list of cached email IDs
There are 1000s of email IDs in my Outlook app's cache which do not show up in the address book, however, they pop up as dropdown when writing a mail. I need and option to either save those contacts in the address book from where they can be exported, or an option to directly export them. Today If i lose my PC, or the disc goes corrupt I'll lose 1000s of IDs, and all my client data is lost. I can't go and individually go to email and chose to save those IDs individually for 1000s of IDs.
