Windows 10: Retrieving contact

Hi guys please help I lost my phone so I just need to get my contacts from it. Where do I go?

:)

 

Deleting contacts from Windows 10


When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Open Windows Live Mail.
• Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
• Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
• Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
• Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

For Mail app:

Open People app then delete the contact.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Contact Retrieval

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things don't work the way it should.

Did you delete the contacts from Hotmail?

To transfer the contacts from Gmail to Hotmail, you can follow the below steps:

1. Login to Gmail account.

2. Click on Settings link on the top right corner.

3. Go to Accounts tab.

4. Click on Add another mail account link under “Get mail from other accounts” section.

5.In the pop-up web page, enter the email address of the Hotmail account to get mail from, e.g. *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, and then follow the Next Step.

To setup mail client to access Windows Live Hotmail account, use the following Hotmail POP3 and SMTP configuration settings:

Incoming Server (POP3 Server): pop3.live.com

Incoming Server POP Port: 995

Incoming Server POP SSL Encryption: Yes (On or Required)

Outgoing Server (SMTP Server): smtp.live.com

Outgoing Server SMTP Port: 25

Outgoing Server Authentication: Yes (On – Use POP username and password or Hotmail credentials)

Outgoing Server TLS or SSL Secure Encrypted Connection: Yes (On or Required)

User Name: Windows Live ID (e.g. *** Email address is removed for privacy ***)

Password: password used to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live service

• Tick the check box for Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail option.

[*]

• Other options that are optional, and can be configured are:
• Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server.

• Label incoming messages with an identity (move to a folder).
• Archive incoming messages (Skip the Inbox).

• Click Add Account button when done.
• Optionally, user may choose to use Gmail to send email from your other email addresses (as Hotmail). To do so, just continue to complete the wizard, and verify by clicking on confirmation link send to the Hotmail Inbox (which should now appear in Gmail
  Inbox after a while as POP3 is now working to retrieve and download all received mails in Hotmail to Gmail).
• All mail received on Windows Live MSN Hotmail will now be retrieved, downloaded and transferred to Gmail Inbox automatically and without intervention or attention required.

Please reply with the results, we will be glad to help you further.
