I am working with Outlook 2007. The group I am refering to was an email
contact group.
There is no such thing in Outlook called an "email contact group". Perhaps
you mean a Distribution List.
I looked in deleted folder, not there,
Unless you emptied the Deleted Items folder, it would have been there. By
default, the Deleted Items folder is sorted by a date value. If you had your
DL for a long time, it would probably have been quite early in the list.
Sorting by the Icon column would have made it easier for you to find.
I even went to restore
and restored previous settings to the day before, it didn't restore that
email contact group.
Restore points don't work with data files.
This is the one thing about Outlook I hate, this is not the first time I
have done this. It doesn't ask you if your sure you want to delete this
group
it's just gone and I can't find it anywhere and beleive me I have looked
everywhere that I know to look.
Outlook treats you like an adult who knows what he's doing.
