O.P. Copying Contacts to non-Hotmail Email Accounts
does anyone here use an email account that ISNT hotmail? copying your contacts from messenger to them is a pain. i had about 500 contacts at one stage.

if anyones interested, i have written a basic program that can do the hard part of the job for you. its called MSN2CSV. all you have to do is save your contact list (works with both MSN and WLM contact lists), then MSN2CSV can convert the file to a CSV file, which is used by almost every email service there is.

instead of copying my contacts one by one from MSN to my gmail account (which i mainly use), it took me just a couple of minutes by using MSN2CSV instead.

furthermore, you can do it in 2 ways: either a simple conversion of one contact list to a CSV file, or an advanced method, which can combine multiple contact lists to one CSV file, and can also let you name each contact if you choose.

if it sounds like this could be any use to you, go to http://msn2csv.wordpress.com and check the Download page to get it.

any feedback is appreciated. speaking of which, sorry for the ugliness lol, its an old version of visual basic i wrote it with. am working on a modern one now.

thanks!
