Outlook 2007 and Web based email accounts – Contacts List Transfer?

Yet another question on Outlook 2007!

I’ll be asking a lot of these sort of questions for the next week or so until my Outlook for Dummies book arrives from Amazon!

I have a web based email account. The provider is Utility Warehouse Club.

I have around 50 contacts set up in that account.

I am in the midst of moving everything over to Outlook 2007.

Can anyone tell me simply how I go about moving my contacts list over to Outlook 2007.

If you can offer a step by step procedure, I would really appreciate that.

If worse comes to worst, I’ll have to re-enter them manually, but I thought I would give the automatic route a try first.

I have made a back up of all the details in the UWC contacts list to an Excel file, so at least I won’t lose everything.

Outlook does POP3, MAPI and Exchange email, it doesn’t do webmail (no email program does – webmail is browser-based). Unless Utility Warehouse Club has POP3/SMTP or MAPI email access, you won’t be able to use Outlook on it. (If you can use it, go to Help in Outlook, type in import contacts, and you’ll see an item on importing contacts from Excel.)

Some time ago I had an unpleasant problem. All my mails were corrupted no one knew how. I used google and found there – can t view contacts in outlook. To my surprise software solved my issue in seconds and without payment. Moreover software demonstrated for me how it read contacts from pst, decrypt this file and extract all contacts to *.vcf files, that can be opened by Personal Information Management (PIM) and Windows Address Book any time.
