MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2005Removing Contacts from Trash
Hello, I accidentally moved all of my contacts to the Deleted Items folder in Outlook, so I selected one and moved it back to my Contacts folder. This worked for that one person. Then, I "selected all" in the Deleted Items folder and tried to move them into the Contacts folder, thinking Outlook would do so one by one. When I saw what it had done - put all of the Vcards into one Contact file - I hit cancel. Everything disappeared. The Contacts are no longer in the Deleted Items, nor are they anywhere else. I now have no idea what to do to recover the contacts. Anyone seen this before? I don't think you'll be able to recover those contacts unless you have a backup .pst file.

Yeah, I figured as much. Is this something I could report to Microsfot as a bug? The usual behavior for "cancel" is to put things back where they were. I really think in this case (mass deletion of contacts) that "Cancel" should behave like normal. Anyone on this list know how to submit that request to Microsoft? > I don't think you'll be able to recover those contacts unless you have a backup .pst file. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > > > Anyone seen this before?
