So many of my old contacts seem to have just vanished from my contact list over the last while.  I have had to go through sent emails from people who had always on my list before to re-enter their contact information, but there are some people  for whom I don't even have old emails to get their addresses back.  Where did they go?  Could it have been Hotmail's fault when they implemented the new Contact format (which, by the way, I abhor)?  In send mode, when I push "to" a contact address might be there, but if I go to my contacts, it is not there.  I have a phantom contact address that was imperative to delete and which was deleted both on computer and cell phone, but which pops up occasionally and has caused a huge business loss as a result of an email going to that contact.  This phantom address can not be deleted when it pops up in the "To" mode, and does not exist when I go to my Contacts!  So there is risk of another email inadvertently being sent to that address.

 Also, when I get into the contact screen, it shuts me out from going back to my account and I have to login back in.  This is definitely not an improvement.  Hotmail has developed issues.

Hi,

I deleted some old contacts because their email addresses are no longer valid.  However, when I am adding contacts to an email, those deleted contacts show up!  When I went back to my contacts list to make sure they were not still in it, they were not.  There must be a way to permanently delete contacts...if anyone can help me with this, I'd GREATLY appreciate it!

 I have a contact who would like to send all of his messages in his inbox to me. What is the easiest and qucikest way to do this?

I go to manage groups but there is nothing that says view contacts.  This is so much more complicated than the old way.
A struggling senior.
I had an email that went to my junk mail. I forgot to place it in my mail box and now it is gone. Is there a way to recover an email that has been automatically deleted?
I have always had a print icon to enable me to print off draft e-mails for review. I no longer have one and cannot see any way of 'customising' the Hotmail toolbar to give me one. Any ideas?
Have had account for two years, during this time have created many sub directories un der the main direcotry "Gibbs" now all but the very last sub directory "westoff Wills" are gone.  Would like to know if all the other sub directories can be recovered.  This happened three days ago.
I want to retrieve a history of a specific contact but i have never choose to save the history. Is there any way that you can help me retrieve it?

thank you for your time.
