Business Card View In Outlook For Mac

TL;DR version – if you don’t see any groups in the Contact card for users in your tenant, and instead see the membership empty or a message such as “We couldn’t find any groups.”, this is a known issue and not something you’ve misconfigured.

Apparently this bug has been around for a while, but I only noticed it today. In a nutshell, if you happen to have more than one Exchange Online/Office 365 account added to Outlook in the same profile, some issues with displaying the Membership part of the Contact Card might be observed.

At the same time, if I look at the contact card in OWA, membership is reflected correctly. Similarly, if I look at the user details in the Address book, you will see the full list of Groups the user is a member of, and you might even see some of the Role groups.

What’s more interesting (or annoying) is that for my work profile, which also uses Office 365 and is added to the same Outlook profile, everything works as expected. I’ve tested the issue with different Outlook versions, one on the Monthly channel, another one on the Semi-Annual one (Targeted), with no difference in behavior.

The workaround provided by Microsoft is to use a single account in the profile, which is the only configuration that does seem to work OK in my tests.

Hopefully Microsoft will sort it out in one of the coming builds.
