====Question or Symptom====
You want to make a copy of your Outlook or Outlook Express address book
in TWIG.

====Resolution====
You can import your contacts from Outlook or Outlook Express into the TWIG
mail system.

First, you will need to export your addresses from Outlook as a "csv" file and
save it to your desktop. To export your contacts, follow these steps:

1. Note which major version of Outlook the Address Book will be imported from:
Outlook 2000, Outlook 98, or Outlook Express.

2. Open Outlook and choose Export > Address Book from the File menu. The
Address Book Export Tool window will open.

3. Choose Text File (Comma Separated Values) and click the Export button.

4. Click the Browse button in the Save As box, expand the Save-in list, and
choose Desktop as the location to save the Address Book text file.

5. Leave the Save As type Comma Separated Values (*.csv) and type a file name
in the File name box. Don.t type .csv at the end of the file name. The .csv
extension will automatically be added when you save the file. The Save as box
will close and the CSV Export box will be redisplayed.

6. Click the Next button to continue. The next display lets you check the
fields to Export.

7. Check every field on the list. Make sure that every box is checked even if
you don.t use every field in the Address Book to insure that all your contact
information is correctly imported into TWIG.

8. Click Finish to finish exporting the Address Book.

9. Click OK in the box that says the Address Book export process has been
completed and click Close on the Address Book Export Tool box.

Now you are ready to import your contacts into TWIG. Follow these steps:

1. Log into TWIG and select Contacts on the TWIG menu.

2. Click the Import link near the top right corner of the Contacts page.

3. Choose the version of Outlook you exported the Address Book from on the
Import from list. If you exported the Address Book from Outlook Express select
Outlook Express (all fields) from the list.

4. Click the Browse button next to the From file box. Find and open the
Address Book text file you saved to your desktop.

5. You can select a group to import the Contacts into from the drop down group
list, or you can leave the group as unfiled. If you leave the group unfiled,
you can move or copy the addresses to a group later.

6. Click the GO button to finish importing the Outlook Address Book into TWIG.

After you have finished importing the Address Book from Outlook into TWIG, you
can delete the Address Book text file from your PC desktop.

Notes:

If you already had contact records in TWIG when you imported new contacts from
Outlook, the existing contact records will be displayed sorted by nickname
among your new contact records. The new contacts won.t be grouped together at
the beginning or the end of the contacts list.

The nickname field in TWIG contacts corresponds to the Display field on the
Name tab section of an Outlook Address Book entry. If you want your TWIG
contacts sorted alphabetically by last name, type a person.s name with the
last name first in the Display field on the Name tab of the Address Book
entry.

If you import a contact into TWIG that already existed, any changes in the
contact information imported from Outlook will replace the old information in
TWIG.
