    Hi All,
    I have just downloaded WLM and at last have been able to get all of my email accounts in one place !  However, WLM will not recognise my Vista contact files, so I cannot import them into WLM.  Does anyone know a way around this.   Thanks

    By "Vista contact files", do you mean Windows Mail?  Have you exported from Windows Mail? 

    What formats will WLM import?  I'd bet CSV is an option here.  IOW, export from Windows Mail to CSV file format, then import into WLM.

      Thanks soybean,
      Yes I do mean Windows  mail , the options for import are :
      windows address book (.WAB)
      Business card (.VCF)
      Microsoft outlook address book
      Address book for current windows user
      Comma separated Values (.CSV)

      I attempted to use the "Address book for current windows user"  but it does not do anything just the message "import completed" "no contact information was imported"
      Am I missing something here ??  (maybe a few brain cells ?)
