Hi there! I understand you're having trouble with losing all your contact information except for email addresses. Let’s work together to see if we can recover that information.

To better assist you, could you let me know if you were syncing your contacts with any services like Google or another email provider? Additionally, did this loss happen after a specific event, like a device update or app installation?

In the meantime, here are some steps you can try:

1. Check Google Contacts: If you were syncing your contacts with a Google account, you can try restoring them from Google Contacts. Go to the Google Contacts page, click on "More," then "Undo Changes." This allows you to restore contacts from a previous date (you can go back up to 30 days). You can find more detailed instructions here: Restore Contacts1.

2. Look for Backups: If you have previously backed up your contacts (for instance, via a file or an app), check if those backups are still accessible. Many devices allow you to manually back up and restore contacts.

3. BlueMail Contact Sync Settings: Ensure that your BlueMail settings are correctly configured for syncing contacts. You can check this in the app settings under "Accounts" or "Contacts" settings.

If you can provide any additional details, we can proceed with more targeted troubleshooting! Are you comfortable with these steps so far?

Thanks for that information! It sounds like all your contacts were recently populated in BlueMail, and since there are no backups or Google Contacts involved, we’ll focus on BlueMail's features to help recover your contact information.

First, let’s look into whether BlueMail has retained any of your recent contacts. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Check BlueMail's Contact Integration:
- Open BlueMail and navigate to the "Contacts" tab. This is usually found in the left sidebar.
- Check if there’s a section for “Recently Contacted” or a similar category. Sometimes, your most recent email interactions might automatically save those email addresses as contacts.

2. MagicSync Feature:
- If you have the MagicSync feature enabled, it can help you synchronize and possibly restore some of your contacts across devices. You can check the setup instructions here: MagicSync Settings Sync2.

3. Manual Input:
- Unfortunately, without backups or syncing with another service, manually re-entering contact information may be necessary. However, check if you saved emails with contact info recently. You can find those by searching specific emails in your inbox.

If the above steps do not yield results, we may have to look into higher-level support options or explore more advanced settings in BlueMail.

Are you comfortable progressing with these steps, or do you need a deeper dive into a specific area?

To sync your contact information in BlueMail, here are some steps you can follow to ensure that everything is set up correctly.

1. Enable Contact Integration:
- Ensure that your BlueMail app is configured to integrate with your device contacts. You can do this by going to Settings in BlueMail and looking for options related to contact syncing. This allows BlueMail to access and sync your device contacts.
- You can read more about this integration here2.

2. Activate MagicSync:
- If you want to sync your BlueMail settings and contacts across multiple devices, you can enable the MagicSync feature. To set it up, navigate to Settings in BlueMail, select MagicSync, and follow the prompts to generate a MagicSync number. This will help synchronize your contacts across devices.
- More information about MagicSync can be found here4.

3. Syncing with Email Accounts:
- If your contacts are part of an email service (like Outlook, Exchange, or Office365), make sure you enable the ActiveSync option in your email account settings within BlueMail. This will allow your contacts to sync seamlessly from those services.
- Detailed instructions can be found here1.

4. Adding Contacts Manually:
- If you're repopulating contacts, you can also add contacts manually in BlueMail. You can tap on the "+" icon when composing an email, which will allow you to view and add device and email contacts.

Once you’ve followed these steps, BlueMail will begin synchronizing your contact information. If you run into any issues or have specific questions during the process, feel free to ask!
