Default Help - can't get contacts from OE to Outlook

It's your move now. We have tried our best to read your mind, and that
obviously isn't working. You'll need to post accurate and complete
information to receive help in a newsgroup.

imported - somewhere...

That may be it - when I try to open the address list, I get a message
that it
can't open the contacts - that the folder may have been moved or deleted,
etc. I"m thinking that it pointed to the wrong place for the contacts
folder,
but I dont know how to change that or find the folder that its looking
into...

The Outlook Import Wizard will import only those Contacts that reside
in
your "Main Identity's Contacts" Folder. It will place them in the
default
Contacts Folder of your current Outlook profile. I would suggest using
Folder View in Outlook to examine your entire Folder hierarchy. Perhaps
you
are importing these Contacts into a folder other than the one you are
currently viewing. I can think of no other explanation from this
distance.

Thanks for bearing with me here.

I'm looking in the Address Bood - Main Identity . There is a folder
"Shared
Contacts" and "Main Identiy Contacts" - in the latter are my
contacts.

I am thinking, maybe, that Outlook is importing them OK, or it
appears so,
but maybe they're going in the wrong place or Outlook is set to a
different
contacts folder or something?
