Re: Windows Contacts completely dun work

Hi McSanidev,

For Windows Live Mail (WLM), the contacts from Vista/Windows Mail will need to be imported to use them.

Contacts will have to be manually imported from within WLM.
Click Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.

To see the Menu bar, press ALT+M and check Show all menus.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

What email program are you using?

Can you give more details on what happens when you try to use Contacts from WLM?

Windows Live Mail )WLM) does not use the contacts in C:\Users\(your username)\Contacts. It uses it's own. That is why they must be imported to WLM.

In WLM, you can open it's Contacts by the left pane Contact button or from Tools -> Contacts.

Check to make sure that Windows Live Mail has all of it's defaults set to it.
