Importing contacts from Windows Contacts folder<\/a><\/h1>\n
\n

http:\/\/www.msoutlook.info\/question\/382<\/a><\/p>\n

First open up Outlook express on the old computer, then address book, export address book to wab file, copy to the new computer and double click on it and it will import the contacts into the windows 7 contact folder.<\/em><\/p>\n

In Windows Vista and Windows 7 there is a Contacts folder in your user directory. When using WIndows Vista, I used Windows Mail and the contacts that I created were stored in that Contacts folder. Now I\u2019m on Windows 7 and I want to use Outlook.<\/p>\n

How do I get these contacts from the Contacts folder of Windows into the Contacts folder of Outlook?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This one is indeed not that obvious at first, but luckily the importing process of the Windows Contacts folder is compatible with the Windows Mail import feature that Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 have. If you are using Outlook 2003, you\u2019ll have to export the Contacts folder to a csv-file first and import that in Outlook.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Using Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010<\/h2>\n

Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 have native support for importing from the Windows Contacts folder.<\/p>\n
