Outlook 2010 imap address book cannot import to SKYPE

[jimbo45]

Hi there
I'm trying to play around with SKYPE's IM (Instant messaging) on the desktop.

On the SKYPE panel at Import contacts from Outlook it only shows the "Stinking Facebook junk" - however in all the software blurb in the documentation Outlook 2010 support Instant messaging -- just sign in to your IM program when you pop up the contact.

Anybody got SKYPE IM to work with Outlook 2010 (Private users -- at work I'd use LYNC which works flawlessly).

(Any other FREE messaging program that will work with outlook)



Cheers
jimbo

Hi there
Thanks for the info but that's the site I USED and it couldn't find any contacts -- screenshot in previous post resulted.

Still can't get it to work properly. - Maybe I'm getting too old for all "this new fangled" Social media / messaging" stuff.

I've obviously missed something but I haven't a clue.

I'm getting better results with a Linux application !!! but I want the OUTLOOK integration since that's the whole point of the contacts, and while Linux has some good email clients I'm much too dependant on Ms outlook now - both private and for work.
