How do you Import contacts in Outlook 2010

If you want to add your data from a prior version of Outlook, do not consider
importing. See this:

I just moved all my data from one computer (in XP) to another (in vista) and
i don't know if that is making the difference or not- The problem is that
when I wish to email someone from my existing contact list, the only 'list'
that shows up is CONTACTS, non of the other groups or folders shows up and
most of my contacts are seperated by the folder/group they belong in. It is
the Select Names window pop up that does not allow me to chose anything
besides contacts & Outlook addressbook, which it says there are no contacts
in. How do I resolve that?

You must right-click each contacts folder individually and enable it as an
address book in its properties before it will show up in the Address Book view
and be available when you click To.

I recently upgraded to 7 using a custon install. My contacts mereged
correctly but when I write an email I am not able to reference back to the
address book, it does not recognize the address book. I am also unabl eot
check the boxes that would allow outlook to use my contacts as the address
book...can anyone help?

A "custom install?" We're supposed to magically know what that is? Do tell
us so we can figure out what you did wrong. Let me guess. Someone used
Windows Easy Transfer. If so, the answer to your question has already been
posted here countless times. Feel free to read those posts.
