Lost Contact

[Ankit Shah]

I worked for a company and we were on exchange. I worked from my home office
so i had RPC over HTTP protocol. That is how I was connecting to my exchange
email. When i left the company i lost all my contacts. I still have the OST
file but the contacts are no where to be found. i can see all the email,
calendar and task but lost my contacts. The company diabled me. I called them
back to not enable me again and they did but i was not able to retrieve the
contact. What should i do at this point. Is it good as gone.

Have you clicked the Contacts Folder to see what is in it? Or have you just
found that the To... field does not find your Contacts?

The Contacts folder is in the same file as the Email, Calendar and Tasks so
the ony way I know of to actually lose the Contacts is for someone in the
company to delete them all before ggiving you the Outlook file.

Sounds like you were using the GAL and since you're not connected to the
company any more, you don't have access to it.
