We have been using Microsoft live mail for the last 7 or 8 years.  All of our email contacts are in this program.  I got a new phone and in setting it up we had to establish a new gmail account due to the fact that we did not have access to our password for our existing gmail account at the phone store.  Now windows live does not recognize our credentials when we try to log in and it has not received any mail since that time.  I don't know what setting got changed, but I would like to get my contacts from windows live into gmail or outlook so that I have access to them from multiple devices.  This may be a multi-faceted question and if it is I apologize.  I am not too bright with all this stuff.
