Managing your professional connections can become difficult if your LinkedIn contacts and your contacts on Outlook don’t match up. This can create confusion if, for example, you’re trying to send a correspondence emails to all your professional connections but some people from LinkedIn are missing in your Outlook contact list.
Transferring your LinkedIn contacts to Outlook can make things easier and saves you from a lot of confusion. Since you can no longer sync LinkedIn contacts with Outlook in the older way, we’re going to talk about how to connect LinkedIn to Outlook without missing any contacts.
No, the older feature of LinkedIn integration in Outlook.com is no longer available and there’s no new way available of syncing the LinkedIn connections with Outlook’s People section.

If you do want to add your LinkedIn connections in Outlook, you’ll simply have to move them in the form of a CSV file in Outlook.
The most practical way to transfer all your LinkedIn connections to Outlook is by exporting the contacts from LinkedIn in CSV file and then exporting that file into Outlook People. This process is divided into two parts, and we’ve explained them below.
The information included in the export file might vary, so the CSV file may not contain every detail available on your LinkedIn profile.
Once the import is complete, check your Outlook.com contacts to verify the imported entries.

A. If there are some LinkedIn connections missing after the import, maybe the import process was left incomplete, or the accounts were closed. Also, recently added connections can also be absent from the imported file.
