May sound dumb, but Outlook contacts question...

Big Redneck3100 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-22-2009, 11:10 AM

I recently synced outlook, and it erased a bunch of my contacts....anyone know where it takes them? Or are they just lost in the cyber world? I would like to get them back and they are not in the outlook contacts on my pc now :/ . Any help would be appreciated before I blow up this confound contraption!!!! LMAO

meh, sync has never been very good, you have have to choose to either keep on pc or phone, but there's no good way to merge. hopefully you have a backup.

LOL, I was afraid of that....well, I guess its back to tracking numbers again haha....I thought maybe when it removed them it might have put them in a .pst file in one of the subfolders of Outlook....

Do you use an exchange server? If so they maybe recoverable from there. You may want to check your deleted items folder also....if you manually delete them they would go there first, but I don't think that is the case with a sync delete.

I don't use an exchange server...and I did check my deleted itemes as well...It just bites cause I didnt want them deleted, and I had it set to replace items on desktop if theres a conflict...oh well I guess lmao....square one again!!!!
