I am trying to help a friend who spent a lot of time entering lots of e-mail
addresses into her Verizon web-based e-mail program. She wants to move to
Outlook Express and would like to migrate the address book. Verizon
(unfortunately not surprisingly) does not provide a build-in export
facility. Does anyone know of a 3rd party program that might do the
migration or any procedure for doing that?

Many thanks -- Sam

Hi Sam,

At the very least get a copy of all the addresses from a new message. Do not
send this message! Someone may be able to provide an easier method (for
Verizon) than that described below.

There a somewhat laborious workaround that involves creating a
comma-separated values (.csv) file. This may be unacceptable in your case,
but it can be useful when it's not possible to export entries from a
Web-based address book. First add all the addresses on the To: line of a
new message.

1. Highlight and (right-click) copy all the addresses.
2. Paste the entries into a new Notepad document.
3. Edit the entries in the following format:

Raw Paste
Tim Kauppila aka Kuay Tim kuaytim(at)myxisp.net

Edited Copy (Note: Name=Display Name and can be added if not
included)
If no display name is used add a comma after the last name. Put each
entry on its own line.

Sample Comma-Separated Values File with Four Fields
The second entry without using a "Name" field has two commas.
(Note: Include the field description line)
(Start)

First Name,Last Name,Name,E-mail Address
Tim,Kauppila,aka Kuay Tim,kuaytim(at)myxisp.net
Tim,Kauppila,,kuaytim(at)myxisp.net

(End)

When ready to save the file add ".csv" no quotes to the name.
Import as "other address book" -- comma-separated values.
