I lost most of my contacts today. I deleted an old email account this morning and that may have had something to do with it. Is there any way that I can retrieve my contacts?

It appears that you lost most of your contacts upon deletion of an old email account. Your assumption is correct. It has everything to do with the old email account deletion. Can you add it back again? If you can then do so because that action will bring the contacts back. Which email app do you use? Is that email an IMAP type account?
