WLMail can only synchronize contacts with those at contacts.live.com,
associated with a Live ID. Gmail contacts *don't* sync.

Contacts are associated with a Live ID. If you sign in, then the contacts
you see are the ones associated with the Live ID you sign in with. And you
have to put them there; even though you sign in with a Yahoo address that
you have registered as a Live ID, there is no connection to your Yahoo
account and any contacts you might have at mail.yahoo.com.

contacts available will be the Default set, probably the ones you call your
Gmail contacts. These will not synchronize anywhere, and if you add a
contact at mail.google.com, it will not appear in WLMail.

There does seem to be a relatively recently imposed limit of 1500 contacts
in WLMail. I'm not sure whether this only applies to Windows Live Contacts
(that synchronize with contacts.live.com) or whether it also applies to the
local Default contacts. Do you have more than 1500?
