Lt. Major Burns, in response to 'barhar, that was quite irritable...' - my post was not intended to be received as such. Otherwise, I would not have asked the questions, that I did - in order to hopefully provide an accurate answer.
Nor, was is it stated in the original post ... 'is there a way?'. Explicitly stated was 'How do I import addresses from hotmail.'. As such, a process is being requested, not a 'yes' / 'no' question being asked. Thus, in order to present a possible process, further information would be required.
coops - I hope you obtain a solution.
