Hi!
In windows live mail; how do I change the sort order in contacts? I don't want it to sort after private, I want it to sort after work i e Company name . The moment I add a first name into the Contact field when editing Contacts Windows Live Mail starts to sort after the first name instead of the Company name. I e the company name disappears in the column where you see all the Contacts and instead the first name appears. How do I change this?
Anyone?
Regards, Anders
I am using Windowslive mail for a long time. Recently I changed the password in my Hotmail account. Since then I am not able to sign in the Windows Live mail. It takes me to Sign in window, where I type in my Hotmail id and password. This is shown to be wrong. Do I need to change any settings in the Windows? Please help. I am in serious problem. Thanks a lot!

i have had a hotmail account for over 14 years, last night I tried to access it, it is always open on my laptop, I was asked for my password, as it said someone had been trying to access it it, so i typed in my password. a message came up saying incorrect username or password. when I tried to follow the steps to change my password, as i started to suspect something was wrong, it said my account doesn't exist. I have lost over 14 years of contacts, and many important emails, not to mention the loss of privacy.
I tried to contact microsoft directly but they said it has to be done online, I can't do it online, becuase the account doesn't exist, they have stolen all my contacts and my emails. What do I do ????????
Please help
I see many threads here regarding recovery of contacts, but none that seem relevant to my particular situation, so please excuse me if this has already been answered.
After a hard disk crash I rebuilt my system to this current state...
Windows 7 Professional, 64bit, SP1, WLM Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3508.0205)
I believe I was previously running WLM 2011, but am not exactly sure what version it was.
I have a user backup of my old system.
I have already recovered my folders and emails from the backup.
*** I now want to recover my contacts from the backup. ***
On the backup I can see a couple of things that might be relevant, for example...
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Contacts\* - the edb files appear to be small and so i guess are 'empty'.
C:\Users\User\Contacts\user.contact - this appears to have some appropriate size.
I haven't used the Windows Live (cloud) contact facility, now or previously.
I do not have a csv export of the old contacts.
Hope you may be able to help.
