|| Thank you for your reply, I did it the way I did as I was advised
|| previously that I needed to do it from Outlook for the Addresses and
|| OE for messages.
|| I had a look at Export from OE but I couldn't understand what I was
|| exporting to Microsoft Exchange Personal Address Book or Text File?

|| Export from OE to Outlook. Outlook uses the Contacts folder for
|| adding or amending information. There is no actual Address Book -
|| it is a virtual view of your contacts folder for people who have an
|| electronic address (email or fax).

||| I use OE6 but because I am doing a course which uses Outlook I have
||| just installed Outlook 2002 from Office XP Professional and then
||| downloaded and installed all updates that were found. I wanted to
||| import my Address Book from OE6 I have used the following
||| instructions in Outlook
||| File - Import Export - Import Internet Mail and Address Books -
||| unchecked Mail and then proceeded to import Addresses. When
||| choosing what to import from it only listed OE4 or OE5 no OE6 (I
||| presume this is because OE6 wasn't around when Outlook 2002 was
||| produced) so I chose the only option available to me.
||| It went through the process of importing but the summary told me it
||| had imported none of them. It also won't allow me to add names to
||| Address Book individually. My feeling is it only wants me to use
||| Contacts but then why have a Address Book?
