Hope I can explain this so it is understandable.

On a new computer with Vista Home Premium, I had no problem importing my OLE address book from the old machine. In OLE on the older computer, in the address book, I had a folder for SELDOM USED CONTACTS, email address I used once or twice a year. It was a folder that showed in the drop down menu when I composed a new message and clicked the little icon to the left of the address space. Clicking that icon brought up the address book and only the addresses I didn't have in the Seldom Used Folder showed. Since there weren't many of them it was easy to scroll through and pick the ones I wanted.

Hi all, i would like to know how do i transfer my outlook express email in XP to window mail in vista n the address book . Thanks in advance

I haven't used vista, but in XP go to start>programs>accessories>address book. when in address book pull down file menu and go to import>address book (wab)

Been running Window 2000. In Outlook Express there was a way to have the adress book contact list appear under the folders on the left side of screen by going to View/Layout/Windows Properties and clicking on the contact box.
When upgrading to Vista Ultimate the contacts box is not appearing and I cannot get the address book to appear under the folders listings.
I realize that everyone has a personal preference to create mail but I find that having to click on the address book icon, and then picking on the person on the list is rather cumbersome. I also know that by creating mail one can type the first letters of the persons e-mail address and it will automatically appear in the send to window...if you can remember what the email address was.

When I select Import in Windows Mail, I get the message "Either there is no default mail client or or the current mail client cannot fulfil the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client"
I set Outlook to default on starting, however Vista still appears to think Windows Mail is the default when I look in Set Default Programs.

Basically all I want to use Outlook 2000 for, is to import mail and address book from my XP environment (where I used Outlook2000, and also Olutlook Express), then I keep Windows Mail. As it stands, I cannot import into either program so am scuppered!
