Transferring Contacts from Outlook Express to Windows Mail

I just got a new computer with Vista 64 Bit Home Premium. I cannot figure out how to transfer my old Outlook Express Contacts to Windows Mail and where they would be displayed. I cannot seem to open a box on the left of the Windows Mail page where they would go, similar to Outlook Express. Any suggestions?

Re: Transferring Contacts from Outlook Express to Windows Mail

Hit CTRL+SHIFT+C in either Mail or Newsgroups.

RE: Transferring Contacts from Outlook Express to Windows Mail

They don't appear in the same place as Outlook Express.

When you click on 'to' to create an email the contacts will then be
displayed. and then click on each contact.
Remember also that with Widows Mail it only remebers the last 29 contacts
for the 'auto complete'


You wont get your contacts appearing down the right hand side of the screen
like you did on Outlook Express

Or you can just click the Contacts button on the toolbar.
