Why can’t I export/import contacts from Windows Live Mail?

I have tried following the supplied instructions.  It just loops me back to the contacts page without doing anything.

Have you tried to export contacts from your Hotmail account using (.CSV) file?

If no, here are the steps to export contacts from your Hotmail account:

1. Sign in to your Windows Live Hotmail account.
2. At the top of your Windows Live Hotmail page, point your cursor to Hotmail.
3. From the drop down menu, click Contacts.
4. Click the Manage link that is located beside Send e-mail.
5. From the drop down menu select Export.
6. Enter the 8 characters from the picture.
7. Click Export button.
8. Save the file to your preferred location.

After exporting contacts from your Hotmail account, you can now import the contacts to other account.

THIS DOESN'T WORK.  :-(

Export Contacts work email address

03. September 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , ,
Using Windows 7, I'm backing up my Contacts in Windows Live Mail Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3555.0308) to a CSV file.  Some of my contacts have both a personal email address & a work email address, but in the selection window for which fields to back-up, there doesn't seem to be a tick-box option for work email, and only the personal email address appears in the .CSV file.

Outlook 2011 Contact import problem

15. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Am trying to move contact records from Outlook for Windows 2010 to Office for Mac 2011. I have saved the records as a csv dos file and as a csv windows file. I have tried to import them to the Mac but whilst the process seems to work no contacts can be seen in the contacts folder under any of the categories including junk.

I have rebuilt the database and tried both the windows and dos csv's but no difference. The only thing that changes is the value for the number of items which is now showing 4341 items and increases each time I import!

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Chris

After exporting my contacts into a CSV format and importing them into my Office Mac 2011 version, I can't find them?  I imported them multiple times.  However, after the import is complete I click on the contacts tab and I can't find anything.  Please help?  Thanks, Ricardo
