Is there any easy way to transfer MSN contacts?

[Cawchy87]

I want to use my gmail account for everthing, including msn. Is there an easy way to transfer all of my contacts over to a different MSN account?

Thanks!

you might be able to have outlook express or something grab your contacts, then import em into gmail.

Interesting proposition. I guess it is obvious this isn't going to be easy

I had to manually switch them over when I went from my Yahoo MSN Messenger contact list to my Hotmail one. It sucks. I think it would be easier to tell all your old friends to ad d your gmail account name. That would help ease it up a little.

I use Trillian.

I add both accounts to MSN.

All the contacts transfer over.

It's actually a bug(can't have seperate contacts for different accounts), but it is useful.

Well.. never tried this.. but under the Contact Menu there is Save Contacts, and Import Contacts from a Saved File...

Uh you could try that I guess... if it works, let me know..
