To import Outlook Express Contacts

In order to use the Pre-Configured option you will need to export your contacts from Outlook Express first before using the pre-configured csv file that comes with I.C.E. - that file is in the folder where you installed I.C.E. and is called OEContacts.csv

Importing using Outlook Express Contacts Steps:

1. (Figure 1) Open Outlook Express and from the File Menu select Export - Address Book.
2. (Figure 2) At the Address Export Address Tool window select Text file "Comma Separated Values" and then hit the Export button.
3. (Figure 3) At the next Export to a file window browse to the location of where you installed ICE (example: C:\My ICE Plan 2008" and select the OEContacts.csv file. If you get a warning that the file already exist and it will ask you if it is ok to overwrite the file then select Yes to overwrite the file.
4. (Figure 4) Once you have selected the OEContacts.csv then select Next.
5. (Figure 5) At the next window (CSV Export Window) make sure you check mark all fields for exporting then hit the Finish button. If you get a warning that the file already exist and it will ask you if it is ok to overwrite the file then select Yes to overwrite the file
6. At this point Outlook Express will export your contacts. Afterwards go into the I.C.E. program and select File, Import, Pre-Configured Imports then Import Outlook Express Contacts (from a csv text file).
7. I.C.E. will begin importing you Outlook Express contacts from the OEContacts.csv file.
8. Done ...check the import by opening the Contacts file using the Contacts button on the I.C.E. toolbar. You can restore your Contacts to the way it was prior to the last import. See Restoring to learn more.
