I got a new BlackBerry phone over the weekend, and synced my hotmail account with the phone.
After the sych, I noticed all of my MSN contacts had been linked to my phonebook (I believe I accepted the message about this in a rush), and I decided I didn't want them, and the best action would be to simply go through and delete them from my phone.

However, I sign into MSN later, and my entire contact list is empty - it didn't just delete them from my handheld, but from the account itself.
Now, when I try to re-add friends, it tells me I'm already connected, but can't see them on my screen
They also can't message me, unless I sign out and back in, to recieve and offline message, then, if I reply in that window, the message fails.

If anyone knows how to solve this, it would be greatly appreciated
If possible;-
1) I would like to recover all of my contacts and return them to MSN
or
2) Fix the issue of not being able to re-add them, so that I can collect the email addresses and add them back

Thanks in advance,
Tom.
