Hi,

I am trying to add contacts to outlook. I created a new folder for them and
tried the import/export but this only gives me the option to import from
Express or Eudora. They are contacts created in Outlook so I put them on
the company drive and I am trying to copy them to the new folder. When I
highlighted all of them and dragged them to the new folder I was prompted to
enter information for each contact. All I want to do is paste them as they
are. What I am trying to do is have these contacts as an option when you
selext TO: in the new message window.

Thank you for any help,
Mayy

Please tell us more about what you actually have on the drive that you're
trying to get into Outlook.

some users on my network have access to a folder with School Contacts. I
found where that folder was and copied it to the network drive. Properties
say they are file type - Internet Email messages. I created a new folder in
my contacts called School Contacts and wish to now copy the the contacts over
to my personal outlook account. they are outlook express (my mistake) so I
went to the local school (contacts folder - import/export - Import Internet
Mail and Addresses - outlook express) I was not prompted where to import
from and the only mail I recieve is welcome to outlook express.

Is that what you needed?

"Internet Email messages" doesn't tell us much and certainly doesn't sound
like anything Outlook can work with. What is the file extension?
