Default Outlook 2007 Disappearing Distribution Lists

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.

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.
