Re: Contacts help

if you didnt have a backup of your contacts anywhere (or hell even a copy of your pim.vol somewhere) you're probably screwed.

this happened to me when i paired my phone with my pc after a reformat and before installing outlook. luckily everything was in my .pst file backup though ...

The same thing happened to me once. Look in outlook/deleted items on your PC, they should all be there.

Doesn't do much good now, but you could always connect via USB to speed initial sync up. We've found that's helpful, just for that 1st time. Like I said, not exactly helpful after the fact though...

Hit us up if you have any questions.
