I have followed the instructions on the site, but not working. The
importation is not successfu into Outlook, address book remains empty. I
understand others have had this problem. What to do? many thanks.
 
I follow all the steps, only a few, click on "finish", and then the window
comes up saying "0 of 0 addresses imported" and the address book itself
remains empty.

Please post a URL of the site that you are getting these "instructions"
from - without that we haven't got a CLUE what you are doing...

reason. The url is microsoft.com/outlook/HA010943871003.aspx

I get no results for that - why can't you copy the URL and paste it in a
reply?
 
we are speaking a different language! I googled outlook express to outlook,
and got the microsoft link. there is a very simple instruction to import
address book. I followed it, but the addresses didn't get moved. Have you had
this problem before? Do you have any other ideas?

I would, IF YOU POST THE LINK!!!!!!!!
 
There is a very quick alternative solution to this problem to save everyone
time and aggravation since the Outlook Import wizard works exactly as
advertised when all is entered correctly:

#1 - Using OE - export OE contacts to a CSV file
*** if no contacts get exported - the issue is one for the OE
newsgroup in case there is an OE configuration issue at play - nothing to do
with Outlook
#2 - Import the CSV file into an Outlook contact folder (Outlook does not
import into the AddressBook)
#3 - Make sure your contact folder is flagged to show as an <email
AddressBook> - right-click folder --> properties
--> Outlook Address Book
