Hello:

I am trying to import the contents of my folders from my
hotmail accountinto Outlook 2002. Specifically I am tring
to import the contents of my, Inbox, Sent and Contacts
folders.

I am able to create a link (HTTP) within Outlook to my
hotmail account. I can see and interact with my Inbox and
Sent folders. However I am not able to see the Contacts
folder. How can I go about importing the contents of my
Contacts into an address book, CSV file, text file, etc.
Please help.

Thanks, Chay

Sorry, Chay. There is, at present, no way that I know of to import your
Hotmail contacts. Microsoft appears to be working on letting you access
your Hotmail contacts through Outlook, but they're not quite there yet.
Maybe there's a manual way to do exports through the Hotmail site, but
there's no way to get at them directly through Outlook.
