Beofre that, delete any contacts from Windows Mail. However, as I haven't used or seen Windows Mail, I can imagine that it doesn't support Outlook categories at all. Moonstone,

I exported the Outlook contacts to a CSV file and successfully imported them to Windows Mail (on same computer). The problem is that my categories have vanished. I have over two thousand contacts grouped in 50 or so different categories in Outlook - but the contacts appear in 'Windows contacts' uncategorised (ie: there's one 'unspecified' category containing all the contacts). It is too labour intensive to re-categorise each contact. I suspect this is a mapping problem in the way I have exported the Outlook contacts to the CSV file (in fact I did no mapping as such during the export - I ignored the 'map custom fields' button and got on with the export). Can anyone help please? If you can resolve this - simple line by line instructions would be appreciated as my geeky abilities are limited! Thanks.

That worked beautifully. I see you may have made a small mistake as listed by the pleasant comments above. Ways and means of pointing things out people. Go play in the sunshine... Err, thanks Martin.

Outlook 2007 does not keep categories in the registry. Therefore it is useless to mention the registry entry location for 2007. This has mislead readers.

Via the registry, you cannot share categories between Outlook before XP and XP or 2003. And for Outlook 2007 the categories aren't stored in the registry anymore. For details please see: http://www.vboffice.net/workshop.html?pub=52&lang=en&smp=1&cmd=showitem#t6 Hi Martin,
