Re: Problems re-importing contacts after deleting contacts on PC.

Hi Bill,

Did you import the same set of contacts or was it another one? Also you
said that all of the contacts on the phone got deleted. So are you saying
that the phone doesn't have any contacts now but the contacts are still
available in Outlook? I am also curious to know the file format from which
you imported the Contact file.

Hi Bill,

So you got the entire set of contacts in your Outlook but it doesn't sync to
your phone. Right? I was referring to the file format used to backup your
contacts. If new contacts are propagating, then I can mail you an addin
that should get your contacts into your phone. Let me know.
