Question about Outlook Express

Hi,

My MSN contacts have both disappeared from my MSN Messenger as well as my Hotmail after downloading and merging Skype 6.0 with my MSN Messenger.

Upon discovering that this purge of my contacts occured, I contacted Skype helpdesk, un-merged my Skype and MSN accounts. Approximately 2/3 of my MSN Hotmail contacts were deleted and I had to restore these contacts via the restore function on Skydrive.

However, the issue is that several contacts still do not show on my Hotmail email contacts even though they are available on Skydrive.

Furthermore, 2/3 of my Messenger contacts are still missing, meaning that I had the option before to message them offline however, I do not even see them listed on my MSN Messenger now.

I have read that in China, the MSN SKype one application will not be available (I downloaded the app using a VPN) Upon trying to merge to one app, it seems that there is a disconnet with servers as my contacts have now been deleted.

Can you please help.

My request: I need for all my MSN contacts from my Skydrive to be re-integrated back to MSN Messenger. I also need these contacts to be available to be via Hotmail.

My email address is: {Removed}

Skype user name is: {removed}

If you require any more information, please let me know.

Thanks and talk soon,

AW
