    Contacts disappeared in Windows Mail

    I have 2 identities. Identity #1 works just fine.
    Identity #2 works just fine except the contacts disappeared.
    If I look at the contact folder it is empty.
    If I look at the properties of the contact folder, it has over 100 files.
    The location of the folder is C:\users\identity#2\contacts.
    If I go to "my computer"-then C;- then users, there is no "identiy#2 folder
    Any ideas.

    Windows Mail doesn't have identities. Are you using Outlook Express in
    WinXP?

    For a given Windows user, Windows Mail can only work with one set
    of Contacts. How are you switching between "identities"?
