Hi, I have read countless threads & tried for many hours with no luck to import contacts from windows mail to outlook 2003. I followed your advice but my when I try to export there is no dos choice. If you have any additional advice I will be very very appreciative. I really am disillusioned with vista as it is such a hog and not very friendly. I have not discovered why it is worth using?

I think it is not possible to import contacts / address book from Windows Mail to Outlook 2003.

I agree with the guy who said it cannot be done.
There is NO option in Outlook 2003 for IMPORT CSV

the options:

Export to a file
Import a vcard file
import and icalendar or vcalendar file
import internet mail account settings
import internet mail and addresses

In Windows Mail:
File - Export - Windows Contacts - CSV (Comma separated Values)
save the file

In Outlook:
File - Import and Export - Import from another program or file - Comma
Separated Values (Windows)
find the file
