^3peat has stretch marks...LOL

Oh crap !!!

What did I just do that for ???

Now my screen name does not reach to the date !!!

I've done this a bunch of times (I have emails dating back 10 years)...........but I forget exactly how.

What email program are you using???

I usually skipped the import process and just "found" the place where the emails were stored and copy/paste them into the same place on the new PC.

Whoops........you said address book.

Hmmmm.........that should be easy.

I always used Outlook Express so I just determined what type of file it wanted to import, then went to the other PC and exported that file type.

There was always a hitch though......maybe you should try comma separated format and see if that works.

i'm usin express andy. i guess i could try it, but big address book. do i hafta do 'em 1 by 1?

dam thread stretchers anyway!

comma seperated file? don kno nuthin bout that...

now's when i wish i had kids...............

OK...try this......

On your old PC, click File>Export>Address Book

My version has two choices, text (comma separated) and MS Exchange blah blah blah.

Select "text" and save it to your thumb drive.

Then on your new machine, select File>Import>Other Address Book

and select the text format, then browse to your file.

i try......
