If you are looking to import your Hotmail address book into your Apple Mac Mail, here is a nifty application created by Steve Roy: Address Importer Software. It is free for the first use (he asks for a $10 donation thereafter). I have used it just once and it took me less than 10 minutes to get it all done. The association of all the fields takes a bit of sussing out, but it is all rather intuitive and easy. I have not registered just yet, but I will have to assume that on the subsequent downloads, the program will recall the field mapping sequence. In any event, thanks Steve. (It requires Mac OS X 10.2 or higher and is compatible with Leopard OS). And, it is finally a pleasure to have figured out how to transition myself from the cumbersome Hotmail to Mac Mail (without losing my hotmail address).
