APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q171302

SYMPTOMS

When you try to import address book entries into Outlook Express, you may receive the following error message

'<Username>' has a non-Internet e-mail address... The contact will be imported to the Windows Address Book without an e-mail address.

where <username> is the contact name for the non-Internet e-mail address.

Also, some e-mail addresses may be blank after you finish the import operation.

CAUSE

Outlook Express is an Internet mail client and requires valid Internet e-mail addresses. When a non-Internet e-mail address is imported, the address is not imported, but the remainder of the contact information is imported.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
