O.P. Contact Problem

Hi. I have recently created a new addy which was intended for the use of a few close friends. I then wanted to add all my contacts from my old addy to the new one but like a "spoon" deleted all the contacts from my old addy.

I'd like all my old contacts on my new addy but I can only add one contact at a time. (Which involves going on my old addy and going on "add contact: add an existing contact from my address book" and one by one adding all my contacts back on my old addy. And then saving the contact list and loading it in my new one but this takes far too long.)

I was wondering if there was a way to go to my address book online, for my old addy and some how copy all my contacts, all at once and add them all at once to my new addy?

If anyone can help it is much apreciated. Thanx. Wry.

RE: Contact Problem

Yes there is an easier way.

Sign into your old msn and on the top of the contact list, click:

Contacts > Save Contact List

Then sign into your new msn and click:

Contacts > Import Contacts from a File

Doing this will add all of your contacts to your new account.

I can't do that because as I said like a "spoon" I deleted all my contacts from my contact list on my old addy so my contacts only show in my address book for my old addy. Thanx anyway.

RE: Contact Problem

You could go to:

Personal settings > Privacy

And click on every contact you deleted and select 'add to contacts'

Then you can do the steps mentioned above.

As far as i know, thats the only way possible you can do, what you're asking for.
