Just noticed a day or so ago that I've lost all of my contacts/People in Outlook (I did not physically deleted them by mistake).  The Help window says to go to the People page, then in the menu bar click Manage, then click Restore Deleted Contacts.  Unfortunately, when I go into the People page, there is no MENU bar - nothing (except the funny wheel which directs me to the Help page).

    The computer guy at our office said to try using Mozilla Firefox.  He downloaded it for me and when I opened my Hotmail account using this browser, all of my contacts were there.  If I open Hotmail/Outlook using Internet Explorer, then my contacts are not there.   So, if you haven't already done so, trying using Mozilla.

    If this can't be done(moving my contacts from People page to Outlook page) how can I send a group e-mail to all my contacts from the people page? By the way it looks you can only sed e-mails individually- I am really disappointed...I have all those folders and a record of all my sent e-mails in outlook...I don't want to switch to another e-mail so please help me restore from all this madness :)
