i'm having the same issue and i found several threads on this subject. I
gave a slightly lengthier explanation of what's happening to me in this
post:

(rather than cross-posting)

in case links don't work, search for the thread "Disappearing contacts in
Outlook Contacts"

i would love any help with this - thanks!
