The following was passed along to me:

1. Set the main view to contacts, by pressing ctrl+3.

until you get to the import button, and press it.
3. A menu opens, and then choose the format in which you've previously
exported your contacts.

Subject: importing contacts into wlm
Hello Listers,
I appreciate the info about importing contacts into windows live mail.
However, I can't find where contacts are in windows live mail, in order to
click the home tab and import. I find the folders and that's all. The only
import I find under the regular home tab is for email. Is there a command
to open contacts within windows live mail? Thanks.
Terry Sanders
