Outlook 2007 Disappearing Distribution Lists

[Chip]

I am running Vista Business 64, with Internet Explorer 8, Outlook 2007,
Outlook Connector for a premium hotmail.com address. Just recently I had the
Outlook connector folks reconnect me because I was not being able to send and
receive messages properly.
Somewhere along the line we got into the Contacts and Contacts at Homail.com
addresses in my database. I don't understand why there are two different
directories in Outlook, maybe that's another story, or maybe it is the story
here.

Anyway, I have 6 distribution lists with anywhere from 30 to 50 names in
each for my business. Tonight I spent 2+ hours rebuilding these distribution
lists. Each time I would build one, save it, and then send a time delayed
email to my clients. I would then go and build the next distribution list,
save it and send it an email. Out of curiosity I would go back to the
previous list and it would be empty! This happened probably 6-8 times
tonight.

Can anyone help me out here? Would be truly appreciative.

All was working before the Outlook connector issue came to the surface, but
not now.

Where are the DL's stored? In the hotmail contacts or the other directory?
hotmail handles DLs differently and while I never had problems with it
messing up my DLs created in Outlook, ones created in hotmail are blank in
outlook.
