Contacts are hosted on your email server; the iPhone just syncs to the email server(s) account(s) that you have enabled on your iPhone. So if you delete an email account all associated contacts will disappear also. Go to Settings/Contacts/Accounts, and see which accounts have Contacts turned on, and if any are missing.


If your contacts are all synced to your iCloud account see→iCloud: Restore contacts, calendars, and more in iCloud Settings
