| | Shawn: I have done exactly what you've described to import contacts from Vista Windows Mail into Win 7 Windows Live mail - with problems resulting. I have 16 folders (groups) of contacts, containing approx 500 contacts, and about 350 contacts not categorized. The first time I tried the process, I transferred 15 of 16 contact groups, and about 850 total contacts. Since one group was missing, I deleted everything and tried again. Now when I go though the process, I transfer only 2 of 16 contact groups (folders) and about 850 contacts go into the preset "all contacts" folder. I have deleted all contacts and re transferred with the same results. How do I transfer all the groups and contacts accurately, at this point? Thanks for any help coolhand Last edited by coolhand; 31 Jan 2012 at 09:17 PM.. Reason: clarification |

| | Hello Coolhand, and welcome to Seven Forums. Were these contacts that were added to a group, or were they contacts Created for Group Only like in the red warning box at the top of the tutorial? Do you by chance have these contacts and contact groups tied to a Windows Live account (ex: hotmail)? If so, Windows Live Mail has a feature to transfer all contacts from the Live account into Windows Live Mail automatically. |

| | This procedure works for Windows 8! Thank you so much. I spent an evening and half a day searching for your solution. It works fine for Windows 8 as well. I was importing contact files recovered from a dead Vista system Clean and concise. ctmsr |
