QUESTION: Can bring my Outlook Express address book into my new Webmail account?

ANSWER:

Yes. By creating a Microsoft Excel comma-separated values (CSV) file you can import address book entries from other mail clients and accounts to your Webmail address book. As well, you can export your Webmail address book listings to a CSV file, which can subsequently be imported to another email program. A CSV file is a standardized file that most email clients are able to use to import and export address book files.

Exporting Address Book to CSV
To export your address book entries to a Microsoft Excel CSV file, click Addresses from the top tool bar.

Then click Import/Export Address Book and click Export CSV. Create a file name and select the file destination. The CSV file can then be imported to another email client or account.

Importing Address Book to CSV
Most other email programs allow you to export address book entries to the CSV format. To import a CSV file to your Webmail address book, click Addresses from the top tool bar and then click Import/Export Address Book. Use the Browse function to locate the file, and then click Import CSV. Next, review and map the CSV file's columns to the Webmail address book columns. Webmail will attempt to map the columns correctly, but you may use the drop-down menus to edit the suggested mapping. Before you import the address book entries, indicate how you want Webmail to handle duplicate address book entries. Finally, click Import CSV to add the new entries to your Webmail address book.
