SUMMARY
In Microsoft Windows Mail, you can only use the UTF-8 encoding format to import an address book. For example, if you want to export the address book from Microsoft Outlook Express 6.0, and then import the exported address book to Windows Mail, you must use the UTF-8 encoding format to save the Comma Separated Values (CSV) file. The CSV file is used to store the information about the address book.

Note Windows Mail is a component of Windows Vista.



MORE INFORMATION
To save a CSV file by using the UTF-8 encoding format, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the CSV file by using Notepad.
 * 2) In Notepad, click the File menu, and then click Save As.
 * 3) In the Encoding list, select UTF-8, and then click Save.
