Well - after 1 1/2 hours of playing around with this, I feel like a complete dummie. I have resolved myself to having nearly 3000 contacts to import to my Gmail contact list. But I can't get anywhere. I have my AOl address book imported into Yahoo. When I try to import into GMAIL (doesn't matter if I use the older or newer version), it asks where to import from - and I can't find the .csv files. I have no idea where they'd be. Whe I select browse, it takes me to my documents - and it's not there. If I try to browse someplace else, I can't find it. It also occurred to me that it may not be in .csv form yet - but when I try to export from one Yahoo account (to say, thunderbird or another yahoo account) - it suggests I can export as csv file - I click on ("Yahoo! CSV: export) - and then it brings up a screen that says: you have chosen to open yahoo_ab.csv file from http://address.yahoo.com. What should firefox do with this file? My choices are "save file" or "open with: browse". If I click "save file" - I don't think anything is happening. And I wouldn't know what to select if I used open with .... Going back to GMAIL import, I have tried entering various names that I've seen in Yahoo mail. Including "yahoo_ab.csv" - but again, nothing happens. I had a similar problem trying to import into thunderbird - I simply don't seem to be able to locate the files to do it. I'd rather go directliy from yahoo to gmail (without going through thunderbird - bc. from what I was reading, thunderbird does not maintain my address groups - and that is important to me. In fact, if I could only import my groups - that is most critical part). I'm sorry I can't be more articulate about where I'm getting hung up. I have truly never felt so in the dark dealing with computer things (even as untechy as I am, I've had a little more grasp than this). Thanks. Lynn.

Carol, on the favorites question. If you click on the green + sign in the top toolbar on IE7 an import/export line shows. Click on it and chose export when you are at AOL and you can copy your favs to a disk and then do the same thing where ever you want to import them to, just chose import then and they will be copied from the disk. Just follow the instructions on the wizard. I think that answers your question. If not, let me know. On addresses, check the info at AOL on exporting them, they probably have a way, sorry I do not know it.

the excel page is your file you need to do as bob said and click file save as then select that it is in the correct format as mentioned the csv, then take that saved file and import that into your outlookexpress. It will not just go from gmail to outlook you must save the file then go to outlook express and choose the option to import address book go to that file you saved select it and import it.

Marie, reboot your computer. Sometimes that re sets things. you might also try to go back a day... and if you can, please, PLEASE, save your addresses on a thumb drive or something. Moni
