Backing Up Email Contacts for a Rainy Day

OK, it's rainy, yucky weather; what are you going to do????? Why not back up your email contacts? Hooray, sounds like a plan.

In Outlook:

• go to File,
• Import and Export,
• Export to a File and Next,
• choose Comma Separated Values (dos or windows) and Next,
• Browse to Contacts and Next,
• Type in "my contacts", then Next and Finish.  

Great!  You are done! Now you can import your contacts into a web-based mail system. The mycontacts.csv file should be located in my documents (by default).  Import it to at least one web-based mail system or save the file on a flash drive or external hard drive. You'll have some peace of mind knowing you won't lose your email contacts if your hard drive gets zapped by stormy weather!
