No Contacts

My contact list is gone in MLM.??

IO still have it in Windows Mail and Thunderbird.
Under export and import the options are import messages, I do not see
contact list.
I know it has been asked(maybe).What is the easiest way to import my
contacts back??
Thank You
Doug

See if you can export as csv file.

A silly question if you don't mind.
Have you forgotten to sign in ?
Were you offline ?

I am signed in.I have a Hotmail account I can sign in with. I have a live
account I can sign in with.
I was signed in with the live mail account and have no contacts. I tried
signing on with Hotmail address and I have contacts????
Why??

Another question. After I made a WLM account using Hotmail.I saw you can I
have a windows live account, so I made one. Do I have to bring my contacts
in to live account also??

If yes how is the easiest. I tried importing. I go to my contacts and it
says folder is empty. If I go to my contacts threw
C/User/me/AAps/local/Microsoft/Windows Mail ,it shows 4 folders all with
numbers. They are empty. I know I am doing something wrong.

As soon as I straighten WLM out, I am installing Windows 7.

Thank You Again

Doug

Doug,

Some Basic Info:

A Hotmail.com or Live.com or Msn.com email address is a Live ID account.
- each of the above are also Hotmail capable accounts
A third party email address can be registered as a Live ID account but not Hotmail capable

- All of the above has its own set of contacts and stored at contacts.live.com or people.live.com (both sites direct to the same
location)

Signing in with any Live ID account to Windows Live in WLM will sync the contacts with, and only with, the respective Live ID
account's online contacts. Once sync is accomplished with each respective Live ID, WLM writes that data to a unique contact
database. Each Live ID has its own contact database

If a Live ID is not used to sign in to Windows Live, WLM operates with the 'Default' account. No Sync, but the Default account also
has its own contact database and only locally stored.

Contact database(s) for all Live ID and the Default accounts are stored in a hidden folder. They are not stored at
/User/me/AAps/local/Microsoft/Windows Mail.
One cannot view one's Contacts in Windows Explorer(they are inside the database file(contacts.edb). They can only be viewed in WLM.



Questions:
Are you signing on to Windows Live with a Live ID account ?
If so, are the contacts present for that(and other Live ID accounts) at contacts.live.com or people.live.com

Are you contacts for any Live ID available in a csv file ?

Please see the above, and answer the questions, then we can proceed a bit more methodically.

Thanks.

Thank You for the explanation. It clears things up rather well!!

I have another one if you do not mind answering it?

In WLM I have a Hotmail Acct. and a Live Acct. When I was making new accts
I tried some user names but never made a password.

When I go to switch Accts. I have 2 other Acct names that were never
completed with Password. I can not sign on with them. I looked in WNL
Folders and found every Acct but these two. Most likely because they are not
Accts since they were never Registered with password.

How can I delete then from the drop down window of WLM sign in page or
switch user list??

Thanks Again

Doug

Doug,
You're welcome.

The Windows Live Sign In Assistant list of names can be access via Control Panel/User Accounts
- Click on Manage my Network Passwords. Delete all unnecessary Live ID's and tokens.

Note: In Windows 7 - look under Control Panel/Credential Manager or if entering via User Accounts then Control Panel/User
Accounts/Manage your Credentials. Click on the the unnecessary item(id's and tokens), then 'Remove from Vault'
