Disappearing Contacts and groups

I purchased a new laptop with Vista about 3 weeks ago. I started using
Windows Mail that came with it – converted messages and contacts etc from OE
-spent time recreating my groups since they didn’t convert but hated that it
didn’t have the auto fill in the addresses. So – after googling and reading-
I "upgraded" to Windows Live Mail. Lost most of my contacts and my groups.
Sigh. Here I go again! Recreate the groups – readd as many people as I can
think of and now again today – I missing contacts AND my groups.

I am going to scream actually!

I have used mail thru my isp and OE so never really used online mail
services. I did have to sign up for a gmail acct b/c my company was suddenly
having trouble getting emails to me thru the isp (nothing to do with the new
laptop – for some reason the isp put a block on the domain) so in WLM I have
3 "inboxes" – one for gmail-one for my isp- and one for live mail. There is
nothing that has come into the live mail inbox – only the isp and gmail.

I now am reading a bunch of user complain that their hotmail accts are
getting highjacked and spam/virus’ being sent out. Don’t know if this is
related – I don’t see anything in the sent area of online live mail like
these people are complaining.

I must have something set wrong somewhere since the address book I think is
the same as the first time it happened (groups still listed but either empty
of have one contact – same contact each time)

PLEASE – can anyone help! I have spent HOURS on this and just can’t do it
again!!!!

Really considering going back to OE unless someone has a solution!
