Well - after 1 1/2 hours of playing around with this, I feel like a complete dummie. I have resolved myself to having nearly 3000 contacts to import to my Gmail contact list. But I can't get anywhere. I have my AOl address book imported into Yahoo. When I try to import into GMAIL (doesn't matter if I use the older or newer version), it asks where to import from - and I can't find the .csv files. I have no idea where they'd be. Whe I select browse, it takes me to my documents - and it's not there. If I try to browse someplace else, I can't find it. It also occurred to me that it may not be in .csv form yet - but when I try to export from one Yahoo account (to say, thunderbird or another yahoo account) - it suggests I can export as csv file - I click on ("Yahoo! CSV: export) - and then it brings up a screen that says: you have chosen to open yahoo_ab.csv file from http://address.yahoo.com. What should firefox do with this file? My choices are "save file" or "open with: browse". If I click "save file" - I don't think anything is happening. And I wouldn't know what to select if I used open with .... Going back to GMAIL import, I have tried entering various names that I've seen in Yahoo mail. Including "yahoo_ab.csv" - but again, nothing happens. I had a similar problem trying to import into thunderbird - I simply don't seem to be able to locate the files to do it. I'd rather go directliy from yahoo to gmail (without going through thunderbird - bc. from what I was reading, thunderbird does not maintain my address groups - and that is important to me. In fact, if I could only import my groups - that is most critical part). I'm sorry I can't be more articulate about where I'm getting hung up. I have truly never felt so in the dark dealing with computer things (even as untechy as I am, I've had a little more grasp than this). Thanks. Lynn.

The nearest thing to Outlook Express in Windows 7 is Windows Live Mail. OE is no longer available in any version of Windows 7. Can't help you with your specific problems, but if I recall correctly (I still use OE on my old XP desktop), you cannot insert pictures into Windows Live Mail either; they have to be attached. This is supposedly for security purposes. I don't think it's possible to have music in e-mails, either. The "junk" mail issue should get better as Outlook "learns" what mail is legitimate. You might be able to set up a "white list" of senders whose e-mail should come into your INBOX rather than the JUNK. I have no idea about the encrypted e-mails, but perhaps someone who uses Outlook will be able to help.

something like this would do it... Right click properties and copy all the CC group address's. Open notepad and paste them into it. Hopefully they are already seperated by a comma, if not, make some comma's. Save as filename.txt to maybe your desktop. Open OE, Tools, Address Book, go to the Group you wan to import them to.. Click the file menu item and select 'Import', then select 'Other Address Book'. Select the 'Text File(comma seperated values)'

the excel page is your file you need to do as bob said and click file save as then select that it is in the correct format as mentioned the csv, then take that saved file and import that into your outlookexpress. It will not just go from gmail to outlook you must save the file then go to outlook express and choose the option to import address book go to that file you saved select it and import it.
