How to Import Contacts from MSN

I just downloaded Windows Live Email this morning. I intend to use this
program for all email from home. My only email account is through msn.
Everything seems to be working correctly, as I successfully downloaded my in
box and sent mail. But, I can't get my address book or contacts to import.
Nothing is showing up. Does anyone have any advice on how to get these into
Windows Live Email?

Re: How to Import Contacts from MSN

-Open WLM, signon when prompted with the same account username and password.
<qp>
If you're signed in to Windows Live Mail with a Windows Live ID, any changes that you make to your contacts in Windows Live Mail
also take effect in Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Hotmail, and other products that use Windows Live Contacts. If you aren't
signed in to Windows Live Mail, your address book only contains your local contacts.
</qp>


Info:
WLM synchronizes the Contacts with your msn account(msn.com, live.com, or hotmail.com)

Note: The Hotmail interface provides an export to csv file option..If they haven't synchronized overnight(an unusually long time
for a logged on Live ID) when an internet connection is 'on' then consider exporting your contacts via the Hotmail interface as
insurance in the event an import in WLM is necessary.

I.e. Wait first, act later.

One last comment and it could be a factor...is your account by any chance a legacy pop3 msn.com account or a Hotmail Plus account
or is it an MSn partner
type account(Qwest, Verizon etc)
