If you have an OE-generated CSV file, I would suggest that you log
on to
http://people.live.com using a Live ID and use the import tool
there. Then in WLMail on each of the three machines, sign in with
the same Live ID. It might take some time (a few hours) for the
synchronization to be completed. Once it is, any amendments,
additions and deletions will propagate to the other machines when
their users sign in.
If this is a family setup using a common list of contacts (and
calendar, which can also be very useful), a fresh Live ID dedicated
to the family might be a good idea. You will always have two
contacts lists - the common set when you're signed in, and another
set called Default when you're not. You'll have a third, if you
prefer, if you sign in with your own Live ID. That way, you could
keep your work contacts, say, out of the common list. The Default
list is unique to the Windows user account and is stored only
locally.
