MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2007Help - can't get contacts from OE to Outlook
I'm importing my address book from Outlook Express to Outook contacts. I say's its imported them - but when I open the contact folder - nothing is there. What am I doing wrong? Hard to say. We have no idea what you did. You description tells us nothing.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > I'm importing my address book from Outlook Express to Outook contacts.

Well.... sorry - OK, I'm using the import function in Outlook - Import-Export - Import Intermet mail and addresses - from Outlook Express.... I get a timeline and message that it has imported X numer of addresses and rules... but nothing is there when I go to the Outlook Contacts. > Hard to say. We have no idea what you did.

What am I doing wrong? What are your versions? How many OE Identities on your partition? When you examine the root Contacts Folder of the Main Identity in OE what do you see?

Oulook 2003 (11.5608.6360) OE 6.00 2900.2189. Not sure on your ohter questions - as far as I know I have only one identiy in OE - I think? When I look at my main identites in OE, I see a list of addresses - is that what you mean? Thanks for the help > What are your versions? How many OE Identities on your partition?

You should see a list of Contacts, not addresses. Outlook's import Wizard will only import the root Contacts Folder from the Main Identity. It will not import subfolders.

There is a folder "Shared Contacts" and "Main Identiy Contacts" - in the latter are my contacts. I am thinking, maybe, that Outlook is importing them OK, or it appears so, but maybe they're going in the wrong place or Outlook is set to a different contacts folder or something? The Outlook Import Wizard will import only those Contacts that reside in your "Main Identity's Contacts" Folder. It will place them in the default Contacts Folder of your current Outlook profile. I would suggest using Folder View in Outlook to examine your entire Folder hierarchy. Perhaps you are importing these Contacts into a folder other than the one you are currently viewing. I can think of no other explanation from this distance. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > > Thanks for bearing with me here.

That may be it - when I try to open the address list, I get a message that it can't open the contacts - that the folder may have been moved or deleted, etc. I"m thinking that it pointed to the wrong place for the contacts folder, but I dont know how to change that or find the folder that its looking into... > The Outlook Import Wizard will import only those Contacts that reside in > your "Main Identity's Contacts" Folder.
