I tried to transfer contacts from windows live mail to my new laptop. I chose .cvs format for export  (it did not offer the windows address book (WAB) format and it appeared as an excel file. When I imported it only 53 of 2k contacts were imported. I tried a save as from excel to cvs, but it didn't have any effect. I did this a few months ago w/another laptop and it worked fine...what gives?

Finally was able to send my addresses as WABs to my new Win8 to use in my Live Mail account, but when I clicked on one set, it  said  “You are about to import Windows address book contacts” and sent them to a Windows Contacts folder and they don’t show up in my default mail which is optonline.net.   How do I transfer them to the right place?
