i want my all contacts in msn messenger in my microsoft office outlook 2003, how can i do this please help me in this mateer thanx waiting for ur reply.....

I'd follow the procedure described in the article above, and then import the OE contacts into Outlook 2003.

sneaky!

Hotmail does not allow for users to access Hotmail via Outlook Express anymore (the free accounts).

I am trying to find an easier way to export MSN address book to OE, while we still have access to it (it was paid but we canceled it recently). I attempted to set up MSN in OE then tried to syncronize the address book but it kept asking me for my password...very annoying.

Not planning on installing MSN Messenger on here either.

Any other ideas out there?? Thank you!

Consider this a wakeup call to the Nintendo generation we demand free access.

The stupid Sychronization doesnt work with free accounts.

Here is a workaround that does names and emails only:

Open you hotmail account to the contacts page where they are all listed.

Copy them to a notepad.

Put a comman in front of each Email (example:

bob, johnson ,bobjohnson@bobislame.com )

Save the notepad file as addy.txt
Open addy.txt with excel 2002

The text import wizard will open automatically.
Choose delimited >Next>Select the comman box and hit finish

now clean up any emails that got the ends cut off.

Add a row at the top add the Entry First Name in the First Name column, Last Name over Last Name, Email Address over the Email Address column.

Save the file and import it into outlook express as an "other address box" (Comman Separated Values)

Hey I was just wondering if I CAN change my email address and HOW do I do it?

No. The only way is to create a new account with the new name, and stop using the old one. http://ask-leo.com/how_do_i_change_my_email_address.html
