Vista - unable to choose recipients

After reading previous answers to the above, I removed update KB933928 and
all contacts were restored. However, tonight update KB932818 installed
itself and now all my contact have disappeared again. I have removed this
latest update but nothing. Anyone else with this problem??

Try upgrading to Windows Live Mail. It should fix the problem since
WLM uses a different Contacts database.

I have encountered the same problem, and have download and install WML as
you have recommended. To use WML, it requests me to sign into hotmail.com.
Therefore, it is just one of the webmail like gmail and is not a replacement
for WM where I can run it off line. Am I correct or I miss something?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Lungfa,

Windows Live Mail Beta (WLM) will support Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.)

If you do have a Hotmail account or have a Windows Live ID, then it probably is asking for this to setup the account for use in WLM.

and is desirable only if you want to synchronize your Hotmail contacts with
your Windows Live Mail contacts. The login can be declined, and you can
disable it permanently by going to Tools, Options, Connection.

Are you seeing any of your POP accounts in the folder list on the left? WLM
should have imported those automatically from WM. If not, you can add
POP accounts the same way you did in WM.
