I deleted my bt email account and have lost nearly all my contacts!

[Windows Central Question]

I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 and been having problems with an old bt email account which I rarely use. I decided to delete it, but now find I have lost nearly all my contacts on my laptop. I reinstalled the bt account again successfully, but still can't find my contacts.

your contacts were saved in this bt email account?
In mail app, go to email account settings - check if you have set your email to show contacts too
