How do I copy my address book from comcast to outlook?
I hate the new comcast email system called SmartZone so I decided to start
using Microsoft Outlook 2007. It was amazinly easy to set up and seems to be working fine. Does anyone know an easy way I can copy over my personal folders and my address book from the Comcast home to my Outlook account ?

Does anyone know an easy way I can copy over my personal folders and my address book from the Comcast home to my Outlook account ? Did you configure the account in Outlook to access your Comcast mailbox via POP? Examine the SmartZone address book and you should see a place where you can export the addresses. Export them in a CSV format and they should be easy to import into Outlook. Are you using the web-based SmartZone? If so, you should be able to move messags from the Comcast folders to the Inbox where Outlook will gladly download them as new messages. If you wish to replicate the folder structure, first create folders in Outlook that match the Comcast folder structure. Then create one more temporary folder in Outlook and move the contents of Outlook's Inbox to that folder. Then in SmartZone, move the contents of a folder to SmartZone's Inbox. Perform a send/receive in Outlook and it should download the messages. Move the Outlok Inbox contents to the folder you created that matches the folder you just moved in SmartZone. Do this for all your Comcast folders until you've transferred everything. Then in Outlook move the contents of the temp folder back to Inbox and delete the temp folder. You should be all set after that. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

How do I copy my address book from comcast to outlook?
Thank you so much, Brian. before I get started on the address book, I guess
I am not sure what POP means. When I configured Outlook 2007, I gave it my comcast email address and then let everything else happen automatically. I gave no further information than just choosing to let the progarm configure itself. Is there a place I can check to see if my account in Outlook can access your Comcast mailbox via POP?

It should be POP. Click ToolsAccount Setting and look at what's defined on the E-mail Accounts tab. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
