I am trying to import hotmail, msn, gmail and oulook express 2002 into my
outlook 2002. i downloaded the import program suggested and it did not work.
i cannot find any tab/icon in outlook 2002 that says "import addressbook".
what do I do besides rewriting all of my many, many contacts.

The "import program?" What is that?
You must export the contacts form these various programs into a format that
Outlook can import. There is no "import program" to "download." Just look in
Outlook's Import Wizard to see what formats it can import.

Also, you will note that Outlook can import directly from Outlook Express if
it is also installed on the same partition. For the other programs you will
have to export your contacts to a file format that Outlook can import.

Did you look for File, Import/Export in Outlook 2002?
