Can Windows Mail Recovery restore contacts that have been deleted?

Using e-mail in Windows (Live) Mail means working with contacts in your address book. Just like e-mail messages, any contact can be deleted by accident. It is not uncommon for one or multiple address book entries to disappear as the result of a hardware or software glitch, or of a PC's file system failing. Windows Mail Recovery is undelete software that is suitable for attempts to undelete data, no matter their type. That is, in addition to being able to undelete emails, the program can also recover contacts. The utility allows undoing the deletion of Windows Mail Contacts after the Deleted Items folder in the mail client has been cleared, and can restore contacts after a hard disk is damaged or reformatted.

How to recover contacts using Windows Mail Recovery.

The process when attempting to recover contacts is similar to the process used to recover deleted emails. After it finishes scanning, Windows Mail Recovery will display a list of the contacts it has found. The icons for deleted or lost contacts are marked with a small red X. You can view a contact in detail by double-clicking on it (this function is available only in the registered version).

To finish the process to restore contacts, you should save the contacts to your hard drive. Select the items you need manually or by using the menu, then go to File->Save recovered emails/contacts, and in the dialog window specify the folder where the Windows Mail contacts should be placed. Each of the restored Windows Mail contacts is saved as a separate file with the .contact extension. Thereafter the contacts can easily be transferred back into your mail program. Simply drag-and-drop the necessary files from the Windows folder to your list of Windows Mail contacts.
