I know this has been addressed before, but I did not get a solution.  I bought a new computer that has W8.1, which is upgrade for me from my Windows 7.

I have been using Windows LIve Mail for years and have set it up many times because of different computers, different servers, etc, but this is a new one on me. At the time I downloaded Windows Live Mail, I also downloaded Messenger. When I went to import my contacts, I discovered I already have a whole lot of contacts. Some I almost didn't recognize, and the import feature is not working. I didn't even recognize most of the contacts for about ten minutes, then realized they were many years old and are from Messenger. Heck, two of the contacts are even DEAD!

I do not think I elected to have my messenger contacted imported, and if I did, I'd sure like to undo it, but the program won't let me delete them. I saved my WLM important info for importing to this computer and would like to restore my mail to a usable condition. But not with these funky contacts.

Please help, thanks, JJ
