Greetings Maudie,
I hate to redirect you, but there is actually a Live Mail group where a number of very
knowledgeable (and friendly) Live MVPs who focus on Mail hang out -- so you may wish to
repost your message there:

Also, assuming you're signed in with a Live ID, it might be interesting to check
http://contacts.live.com on the web and after signing in with your Live ID there, see if the
contacts are listed there correctly.
