Number of total contacts (where are you seeing the data) or number of Unread
contacts with a blue bracketted number behind the Contacts Folder?

What version?

How are you making the Contacts?

My Outlook contacts number about 400. When I add a new contact it saves
in
the Contacts folder but the number of contacts remains the same. Why
would
that happen. Appreciate any thoughts.
