Hotmail is the most popular web based email service and recently Microsoft had launched an upgraded version of Hotmail which has new web interface. Contacts is one of the most important aspect of any email service. One of the nice feature of Windows Live Hotmail is that you can restore deleted contacts from your contacts list. This could come handy if you had deleted contacts accidently or someone else had deleted it without your permission.
To restore deleted contacts, open Contacts in Windows Live and from the manage menu, select Restore deleted contacts option.
The restore deleted contacts page will display the list of contacts deleted from your account and you select the ones which needs to be restored. Clicking the Restore all button restored the contacts back to your account.
Please note that you can’t restore contacts deleted more than 30 days ago.
