Need Hotmail to Outlook Express help!

I'm trying to import my email contacts from Hotmail to Outlook Express so I can export them to my new website. I understand that when I upgraded to IE7, Outlook was not included in the upgraded and this is apparently causing problems with synchronization of contacts. Can someone help me get these contacts imported please? Thanks, Chris

 

How to export a Hotmail address book to a Microsoft Outlook Express address book

 

Tried this. I'm getting a message that says Hotmail no longer allows free access to Outlook Express. So now what? I've been searching the net for answers all morning. Do I have to go back to IE6 in order to do this?

 

open your hotmail account, go to options then come down to import export contacts and see if you can do it that way

 

Ok, tried to export direct from Hotmail and it copied the contacts into an Excel spreadsheet! UGH!!! Any other suggestions?

 

Try using windows live mail, they're fazing out OE to use with Hotmail

If I can figure out how to export my contacts from Hotmail to Yahoo mail, I can import them to my website from there. It will only import from a few places. Outlook, Yahoo and 2 others I don't recognize. Can you help with this option? Thanks for your help...Chris

 

I know their phasing out OE, but I can only import from there.

 

save the file to your desk top, open outlook express click on file then import. point it to the file you just saved from hotmail to your desk top. then click import. the files should go directly to your outlook express.

hotmail uses the csv which puts it in an excel format (have no idea why) but outlook should be able to convert it back to the address format in outlook express

 

THANKS SOOO MUCH!!! Saving the file to desktop worked!! Now all I have to do is import them into my website. Sure hope it's easier than getting them into Outlook!
