Importing contacts missing

My wife uses Livemail on a Vista system. she does NOT use a live ID for login, just two at&t email accounts.

Recently the hard drive started acting up and we had a image made of the drive. The system became very unstable and a local pc wiz setup an new system for her and transferred all the data for her from the image. the Livemail contacts were not there. So I got the contact data base for the Live Contact folder in the appdata from the tech. I exported the data to csv using EscDBviewer then imported the csv data to live contact.

There are two problesm with this
1. The WLC import app does not allow matching of the complete field set. for instance WLC does have multiple emails per contact Personal, work and other, and they exist in the csv file but they are not available in the match option. Why are all the files not included or am I missing something? Since the CSV was created from a WLC file it should be a one for one transfer...

2. Many of the contacts are missing. I have ran it twice which takes about 8 hours.

Is there a better way to move the contacts from the old database to the new one?

Thanks
Robert

Hi,

I have just exported (.CSV) & then edited the file & re-imported it in 30 seconds! Granted I only had 20 contacts in the file at the time.

So, why your system takes 8 hours I am at a loss. Do you need to run a virus scan?

did you notice whether separate emails are available for matching on your system?
