what about the Contacts Directory Account

Hello,
as we know that there are three kinds of Account in Windows Live Mail. But I
wonder that how to use the Contacts Directory Account and what it use for.
Please give me details about it. Thank you!

The Contacts Directory accounts are only useful in a corporate
(large business) environment. The average user has no need for
those, and you can delete them.
