Problem importing contacts from outlook express

[doug]

I recently installed Outlook 2000. During installation it
asked me if i wanted to import contacts from outlook
express. My express has several identities: personal,
business and my girlfriends. The "import" took the
contacts from my personal account and then it deleted the
other two in their entirety (from express). I now have
none of my business contacts and I am absolutely furious.
Any suggestions?

have you tried setting up Outlook profiles to match your other two
identities, and running the import again? I'm not sure it would work, but
it might be worth a shot...

Importing the address book from Outlook Express will NOT remove anything
from the Windows address book. The other identities in Outlook Express
should still be there. Since Outlook has no concept of "identities", it
only imports from the main identity.
