Lost Contacts/People in Outlook/Hotmail

Since yesterday I cannot access my list of contacts when I'm in hotmail (login Live). When I go to the People screen, it gives this message "Your request can't be completed right now. Please try again later"

I've tried using a different browser (Chrome) instead of IE. Still the same problem.

I have not deleted any People. I can't understand what has caused this.

Hello,

We are really sorry for the inconvenience.

Please follow below steps to restore deleted contacts.

Login to people.live.com and sign in with effected email address and password.

then  towards top of the screen click on " Manage" and then click on " restore deleted contacts.

This should recover all deleted contacts.

Note: If its a free hotmail account then there is possible your email account had migrated to exchange server, which is happening to all Microsoft account across of the world and this will take some time to get back all the information saved on your account.


Thanks

Jason
