My hotmail contact info has been drastically reduced.  Can I retrieve the details I had entered for contacts like snail mail addresses, birthdays, etc. or should I just go back to a paper notebook like my grandmother kept?
How do I delete only my Facebook Contacts ( 183) form my Microsoft Live Mail contacts lists?

When Windows Live Messenger is officially retired sometime in 2013, what does that mean ?

Will all versions of the Messenger client...

   ...  not be able to Logon ?

 ... not see their Contacts ?

 ... not be able to send and receive text-based IM messages ?

Or does it mean that the software will not be updated after that, but any Accounts still "living in the old Messenger world" will still be able to talk to each other using IM ?

Thanks

Since hotmail changed CONTACTS to PEOPLE, can not find any of my groups set up in email.  i installed outlook, not there and was so confusing besides that .. that i  went back to hotmail and not there either.  normally if i wanted to send out email to one of my groups, i would just click on that group. please help...i head many organizations and can't find my groups anymore.

I need locate contacts on WLM? One answer said start in lower left to see icon. I not see any icon in lower left. (below folders)

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I deleted some old contacts because their email addresses are no longer valid.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!

The whole Contacts set up has changed. How do I use the new set up? I am especially interested in how to manage my groups by entering new people and removing old ones.
Also, when I try to add a contact to a group it will usually not add the contact to that group, but only to the list of all contacts.  But sometimes it does add the contact to a group.  So this looks like a fault in the system.  Is anyone trying to repair it?
I can no longer manage my contacts.  There is no search function nor can I organize or find groups and categories.  All of this changed when Microsoft revamped contacts recently.  On my daughters computer (same - macbook pro) it allows management of contacts but can't manage on my computer.  Why and how do I fix this?

My contacts on one computer are showing offline.when I know they are online...on another computer they show online which is what they are, so I am not sure what is going on...Does anyone know how to get this fixed?

I can talk to them when I go into edit my privacy settings but thats it.

Frustration is starting to set in...Please let me know what I can do...
