I use Outlook Express for my personal email and Outlook as my business email. I had to reinstall Outlook. It asked me if I wanted it as my default mail server. I foolishly clicked yes. What it then did was take all of my contacts out of Outlook Express and replace them with my Outlook contacts, which I don’t want.
How do I get my Outlook Express contacts back? I hope they are not gone forever. HELP!!!
Oh, no, it has gone from bad to worse. Since I didn’t want the contacts in Outlook Express, I decided to delete them. This removed them from Outlook as well. I want these back in Outlook. My fear is that I have deleted them permanently. Why are Outlook and Outlook Express not working independently? Help again!!
And all it cost you was a few gray hairs, momentary extremely high blood pressure, and a panic attack. 
All in a days work.
