We use a generic Hotmail account in my choir, and since the switch to the new Outlook interface we've noticed that changes made by an individual to our contacts lists don't seem to be seen by others in the group who access the same contacts list. Any idea why this might be happening and what we can do to fix it?

You will probably have to reconfigure every user.

Thanks - any handy tips on how that can be done? We all log in with the same username and password, just using different devices.

What is the connection between the new interface and the Contact List?

He might be referring that the new look of Outlook won't affect the contact list.
