I did read them. This happened a week ago and I wasn't on this list yet to ask any questions. I just don't remember what the other things were. My contact list did not show up in Outlook. And I said no to it being my default email program. I'm not so much worried about what I did now as much as I am wanting to know how to bring in my address book from MSN. -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Dian Chapman Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 12:33 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Outlook Express and Microsoft Outlook >Then, I decided to use Microsoft Outlook.

It knows you were using OE. When you opened it, it offered to be your default email program. What did you say? If you don't remember or didn't pay attention to what you were clicking...you probably said yes...so OL sucked up your address book. Open Outlook and see if all your names are now in there. Note...message pop up for a reason, you should read them.

I set up my express and had added all my contacts (I'm sure I added them the hard way) and used it for a week or two. No problems. Then, I decided to use Microsoft Outlook. When I opened it up it asked me something about using it as my default email and probably some other things. Then the next time that I opened Express, all my contacts were gone. What did I do? Are they lost or can I still retrieve them? And, since I added them the hard way in the first place, how do I import my addresses from MSN without having to go the long way?
