TipsMake.com - Are you planning to create or create an account on Outlook.com for yourself? Are you worried about having to re-enter contacts into your new account? If you switch from Hotmail / Live Mail, the contacts will be preserved. Otherwise, we can still create a contact list in just a few minutes.

Outlook provides built-in features to import contacts from services like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. If you need support for any other service, you can use the Import from file option.
