1133406 2010-08-31 21:55:00 I've done this heaps of times with no issues - it should work fine.

There are two ways of doing it, but this one should work fine.

What I normally do is simply cope the contents of the old contacts folder into the new contacts folder, then in Live Mail, click on contacts down the bottom left, the click file and import. Select import address book for current windows user, and it should pick up all the vcard files from the contacts folder.

Yes, that's right.

And if you haven't got your menu bar displayed click on the one 2 or 3 to the right of sync and select menu bar
