Verify that your contacts are synced to the correct account

If you want contacts created on your phone to sync back into outlook, then you need to insure that the correct account is selected as the default location for contacts. Make sure that the exchange account you created above is selected to be the Default account under Contacts.

Remove any unused accounts

You should delete the old account since it will no longer be available. All of your older emails will appear in the new account although it may take some time for them to sync back up.
