Hi Larry,
The only way that worked for me was to bring up the address book on
the windows box, copy all to the clip board. Paste them into a file
where they become cards and then import that file. It seems no
matter what I did, this was the only method which worked. Things may
have improved since then since it was many months ago that I imported
my address book.

I too have questions about the address book. I've got something
along the lines of 100 contacts in my address book on the old PC in
Outlook Express. I exported them in text file format and the file is
on my Mac but how do I move these in to my email and address book on
the Mac? Any help is much appreciated.

Subject: address book and mail
Hello all,
I was wondering if the contacts in Mail are in the Address Book. I
haven't really quite figured out the Address Book app yet so am
working with it, but I was under the impression that Mail contacts
end up in there. I have contacts in Mail I'd like to remove and
see no means to do so in Mail itself. Also, I was giving real
consideration to getting a dot Mac account, but one of the concerns
I have is having two accounts in Mail. I tried this once, but it
seem to have some real problems with sending mail and the like. If
anyone is in fact using lets say their ISP's mail and a dot Mac
account and can comment on how easy it was to work with mail in
this way, I'd appreciate it. .
Also, I guess the list was down for a bit, but I was wondering if
anyone had tried my sleep experiment and if so what their results
were. I'd like to get back to Apple on this. I will say that I did
end up doing an archive install and that turned out to be a good
thing. I guess using target disk mode to move stuff from one
machine to another works generally ok, but it can have some
strange side effects as well.
tnx
Scott
