Why You Might Need to Recover Deleted Contacts on Windows Live Mail
If you accidentally delete a contact from your Windows Live Mail account, you can usually recover the contact by using the “Restore Contacts” feature. This feature is available in the “Contacts” tab of the Windows Live Mail interface. Simply select the contacts you want to restore, and then click the “Restore” button.
In some cases, however, you may not be able to recover deleted contacts using the “Restore Contacts” feature.
