| | Export of Contact Groups Dear Sirs, I have several Contact Groups in Windows Mail (Vista). I want to be able to export each group seperately for import in e.g Outlook or Outlook Express. Similarly I want to export all my contact persons and include the Group. How do I do that? When I imported the contact persons from Outlook Express, I used a wab-file, I think. It worked fine, and all the contact groups (mailing lists) was included. Hope someone can help me out. -- Henrik ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

| | RE: Export of Contact Groups Could I in some way see, if the suggestion is supported? I have for some years found the export by way of a wab-file in Outlook Express very helpfull in my work; e.g. when placing a wabfile containing a contact group in a restricted area (by way of htacces) I could let a colleague import it and replace me in case of my being unable to do my job. I feel somewhat let down after discovering that this facility was left out in Windows Mail.

| | Re: Export of Contact Groups The export/import process does not support groups. All you can do is export the contacts as a CSV file, import that into Excel, do your filtering and manipulation in Excel, then save what you want as a new CSV file. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Raadighed" <Raadighed@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:EF6E333D-A407-447B-AF6F-55B115ECC991@xxxxxx Quote: > Could I in some way see, if the suggestion is supported? > I have for some years found the export by way of a wab-file in Outlook > Express very helpfull in my work; e.g. when placing a wabfile containing a > contact group in a restricted area (by way of htacces) I could let a > colleague import it and replace me in case of my being unable to do my job. > I feel somewhat let down after discovering that this facility was left out > in Windows Mail. > Regards > -- > Henrik > > > "Raadighed" wrote: > Quote: >> Dear Sirs, >> I have several Contact Groups in Windows Mail (Vista). >> I want to be able to export each group seperately for import in e.g Outlook >> or Outlook Express. >> >> Similarly I want to export all my contact persons and include the Group. >> How do I do that? >> >> When I imported the contact persons from Outlook Express, I used a wab-file, >> I think.

| | Re: Export of Contact Groups That is exactly my point; it worked nice and easy in Outlook Express but that facility is left out in its successor, Windows Mail. I do really hope that this will be corrected soon. If not, I will have to consider going back to OE. I have not found the CSV file helpfull as to my needs. -- Henrik "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: Quote: > The export/import process does not support groups. > All you can do is export the contacts as a CSV file, import that into > Excel, do your filtering and manipulation in Excel, then save what you > want as a new CSV file. > > -- > Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) > > > "Raadighed" <Raadighed@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:EF6E333D-A407-447B-AF6F-55B115ECC991@xxxxxx Quote: > > Could I in some way see, if the suggestion is supported? > > I have for some years found the export by way of a wab-file in Outlook > > Express very helpfull in my work; e.g. when placing a wabfile containing a > > contact group in a restricted area (by way of htacces) I could let a > > colleague import it and replace me in case of my being unable to do my job. > > I feel somewhat let down after discovering that this facility was left out > > in Windows Mail. > > Regards > > -- > > Henrik > > > > > > "Raadighed" wrote: > > Quote: > >> Dear Sirs, > >> I have several Contact Groups in Windows Mail (Vista). > >> I want to be able to export each group seperately for import in e.g Outlook > >> or Outlook Express. > >> > >> Similarly I want to export all my contact persons and include the Group. > >> How do I do that? > >> > >> When I imported the contact persons from Outlook Express, I used a wab-file, > >> I think.

| | Re: Export of Contact Groups If you want to go back to OE, you'll also have to go back to an older version of Windows since OE won't run under Vista. Windows Mail isn't likely to get many improvements in the form of updates since Microsoft is putting most of its email effort into a new email program, Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Raadighed" <Raadighed@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:4DB405C8-02AB-45A4-8FE9-D141598DCAAA@xxxxxx Quote: > That is exactly my point; it worked nice and easy in Outlook Express but > that > facility is left out in its successor, Windows Mail. > I do really hope that this will be corrected soon. > If not, I will have to consider going back to OE. > I have not found the CSV file helpfull as to my needs. > -- > Henrik > > > "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: > Quote: >> The export/import process does not support groups. >> All you can do is export the contacts as a CSV file, import that into >> Excel, do your filtering and manipulation in Excel, then save what you >> want as a new CSV file. >> >> -- >> Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) >> >> >> "Raadighed" <Raadighed@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news:EF6E333D-A407-447B-AF6F-55B115ECC991@xxxxxx Quote: >> > Could I in some way see, if the suggestion is supported? >> > I have for some years found the export by way of a wab-file in Outlook >> > Express very helpfull in my work; e.g. when placing a wabfile >> > containing a >> > contact group in a restricted area (by way of htacces) I could let a >> > colleague import it and replace me in case of my being unable to do my >> > job. >> > I feel somewhat let down after discovering that this facility was left >> > out >> > in Windows Mail. >> > Regards >> > -- >> > Henrik >> > >> > >> > "Raadighed" wrote: >> > >> >> Dear Sirs, >> >> I have several Contact Groups in Windows Mail (Vista). >> >> I want to be able to export each group seperately for import in e.g >> >> Outlook >> >> or Outlook Express. >> >> >> >> Similarly I want to export all my contact persons and include the >> >> Group. >> >> How do I do that? >> >> >> >> When I imported the contact persons from Outlook Express, I used a >> >> wab-file, >> >> I think.
