Might seem like a werid question, but it might interest you. I have a little issue, with msn. For some reason all my contacts were lost. Somewhere on my computer I found a file called ContactsLog.txt which has a lot of weird code in it but also seems to have a large proportion if not all my contacts. I can't seem to be able to just import this straight into my hotmail account. But I was wondering if anyone know how I could turn this mess of numbers and figures with these email accounts into something I can use to restore my account. All the emails are surrounded by these ||. Hotmail requires a file called a cvs for importing. Does anyone know how I can turn this file into one? or maybe create my own? I am pretty familiar with delphi code.

MSN contacts are actually held on their server, not locally. You can test this by logging into it from a second computer, and you list should be there. The same list is also used with hotmail.com/live.com mail, and again, is there no matter what computer you use to access it.

You can, nevertheless, import to the list, and export the list. You can get to these options by clicking Contacts>Manage>Import or Export.

CVS is Comma Separated Values. Put the emails in a line separated by commas
