Default Contact import destination issue

I'm trying to import an Excel spreadsheet of contacts into Outlook 2003.
After I select the file Outlook prompts to me specify the destination folder.
But it doesn't show my my Local Folder. Instead it only shows my Archive
folder. I don't believe i want to import it into my archive contacts. How do
I get it to import into my Local Folder? Thanks.

Matt

When you click ToolsE-mail AccountsNext and examine the "Deleiver new
e-mail to the following location" drop-down at the bottom left, what shows?

It says Local Folder by default. The pull down lists Local Folder, and
Archive.

Good. From your description, i was beginning to think you had chosen the
Archive folder as the default. Were I you, I'd start with a new mail
profile to see if the import issue changed. Don't delete the old profile
until you make sure the new works to your satisfaction.
