I am now using Outlook for my e-mail program. However, I want to switch to
Outlook Express which is the program that AT&T supports. How do I transfer
the Outlook address list to the Outlook Express address list?

Outlook can be configured to use AT&T. If your referral to
"supports" means that access problems can be better
resolved by AT&T support personnel, that is probably true.

Export to a Comma Separated Value file. From there you can import into the
Windows Address Book.

FWIW, the support staff might not support Outlook, but the Outlook program
works fine with any ISP that offers POP3 mailboxes. (They don't like
learning the dialogs.)

AT&T will also accept Outlook. In fact, AT&T will accept ANY POP3 client.
Just use the same information AT&T gives you for Outlook Express.

address list?
Click to expand...

In Outlook, click File>Import and Export>Export to a file>Comma Separated
Values (Windows)>Next. Name the file and click OK. In Outlook Express,
click File>Import>Other Address Book>Test file (Comma Separated Values),
browse to the file you created above, select it and click OK.

Or, you can change the registry to allow Outlook Express to share Outlook's
Contacts folder. See
