Hi, sometime yesterday I received a heap of mailed undelivered messages.

It turns out that most people on my contact list received this email

Then I discovered all my MSN contacts (on MSN messenger and on Hotmail account) are gone.

So are my folders where I file my old messages, and my inbox empty.

So my entire Hotmail have been wiped out (except for a lot of old messages in the "Sent" folder).

Please help look into this and advise.

Hi 8lb,

To recover your missing Messenger contacts, you need to contact the Windows Live Messenger Technical Support Team. You can reach them using this link.

Once you're on the page, click the link beside Windows Live Messenger.  To reach their support group, follow these steps:

1. On the Help pane, click on any topic on the left panel then wait for the page to load completely.

2. Choose your Messenger version.

3. Click Get more help on the lower right corner of the page, then click on Get support.

4. Complete the e-form then click Submit.

To recover missing Windows Live Hotmail contacts, create a new post at our Contacts & Address Book forum with your Hotmail account and three (3) deleted e-mail addresses from your Contacts list.

To recover your missing messages, reply to this post with your Hotmail account.

For more information on what possibly happened to your Hotmail account, check out this solution.

Hi, please help recover my deleted emails and folders, my hotmail address is {removed email address}. Thanks.

Hi June,

I posted a question in contacts and address book forum for hotmail contacts recovery.

But for Messenger contacts, can't seem to get to the e-form following your steps, can you provide a link to the e-form ?

My MSN version is "Version 2008".

Thanks.

I have had the same issue... with deleted contacts and emails...

I have lost all my folders.   They contain very important information that I require on a daily basis.

Any assistance you can be to recover these folder would be appreciated.

 Don't like to post it in a public forum but if you need it to recover my folders I'll do anything at this point.    the account is rickjames494

Thanks

I was able to retrieve a number of your deleted e-mails and I’ve moved them back to your Inbox so you can review them.  Since I’ve tried to recover all deleted messages, there may be messages that you’ve purposely deleted before that may be included in the restoration.
 
BTW, we can’t restore deleted folders since we don’t have the tools to do so. 
 
Try these steps to contact the Windows Live Messenger Technical Support Team:
 
1. Go to http://help.live.com/help.aspx?project=a&querytype=topic&query=default_help_proc_messengerversion.htm&market=en-us
2. Select Windows Live Messenger 2008. 
3. Click on any topic on the left panel, then wait for the page to load completely.
4. Click Get more help on the lower right corner of the page, then click on Get support.
5. Complete the e-form and then click Submit.

We’re unable to recover lost folders since we don’t have the tools to do so.  We can only try to retrieve the deleted messages.  Post your complete e-mail address here so we can start with the recovery process.  Don’t worry, only the moderators will be able to see it for your privacy.  

My e-mail address is {removed email address}

t923347, I was able to restore some of your messages. Please check your account. If the ones you need didn't reappear in your mailbox, it means that these messages are already purged. We can no longer retrieve them.

Please help.  My inbox was deleted as were all folders I've created (along with their contents of course).  Please help me recover these files.

Thank you,

Greg Bayman
