yes absolutely..



How to export the Outlook address book



* How to create a form and make it email its content to your mailbox

* When you're in a hurry to send email, use "mailto:"

* Retrieving CompuServe email using Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook

* How to specify which mail delivery system to use

* Find the eMail address of your favorite celebrate

* Using Finger to lookup the name of the owner of an email address

* Change the location where your Internet Mail and News is stored



Looking for a way to export your Outlook Address Book to another program? Outlook 97 and Outlook 98 doesn't come with a built-in method to export the address book, but if you have Outlook Express 4.x here's an indirect method:





* Run Outlook Express 4.x (if you don't already have it, install Explorer 4.x full version)



* Select "File | Import | Address Book..." from the main menu



* Select "Microsoft Exchange Personal Address Book"



* Click "Import" and click "Close" once the importing is completed





To export the address book:



* Select "File | Export | Address Book..." from the main menu



* Select "Text File (Comma Separated Values)"



* Click "Export"



* Type a file name in the "Save exported file as" input box.

For example type, "C:\MYADRBOK.CSV"



* Click "Next"



* Optionally select the fields you wish to export and click "Finish"



* Click "Close" once the exporting is completed



You're now ready to import the newly exported Outlook address book (C:\MYADRBOK.CSV file for example) into the program you were trying to export to. CSV (comma separated values) text files are supported by almost all programs with the ability to import information from external programs. Refer to the documentation for further instructions.
