Default Having trouble importing into outlook

I was successful importing old contact information from one outlook account
to a new one (changed jobs) by saving information in excel. However, the
only information that doesn't transfer from excel to outlook contacts is
people's e-mail addresses. They are in the excel file, and they seem to be
mapped correctly, they just aren't transferring.

Help?

thanks,
H

Default Having trouble importing into outlook

Why would you do this? Your Contact data is already in Outlook format.
Converting to another format then back is a good way to lose data not
transfer it, as you are demonstrating for us once again.
Place your Contacts in an Outlook Data file, copy that file, open it in the
other installation.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
