Hmmm. I've been creating pst files with only emails in them for years. I
could create a pst file of the entire mailbox, which would include the
calendar and contacts, but I choose only to "pst" the emails. That's how I
archive them. That's how I archive email for many users on our network.

Anyway, my problem is that my "contacts" destination folders are not
showing, so there is no place to import contacts from an excel sheet. Does
anyone know why I can't see my contacts folders?

Thanks.

There is something here that you don't understand. There are no "email pst
folders" A pst folder contains all Outlook folders, Calendar, Contacts,
Inbox, Sent items, Journal, Tasks etc.

So if you see a .pst destination folder and that's the one you want to
import to, go ahead and select it.

I'm using Outlook 2003. When I try to import an Excel sheet to a contacts
folder, the folder does not show. In fact, none of my contacts folders
show,
just email pst folders. I know I've done this before but can't for the
life
of me figure out what I'm doing wrong this time.

What I've done: I highlight the contacts folder that I want to import to,
then I go to File Import Export Import from another program, select
the
Excel sheet where the contacts are located and that's as far I get,
because
there are no Destination folders available. Can someone help me with
this?

Thanks.
