SYMPTOMS
When you try to import address book entries into Outlook Express, you may
receive the following error message
'<Username>' has a non-Internet e-mail address... The contact will be imported to the Windows Address Book without an e-mail address.
where <username> is the contact name for the non-Internet e-mail address.
Also, some e-mail addresses may be blank after you finish the import
operation.
CAUSE
Outlook Express is an Internet mail client and requires valid Internet
e-mail addresses. When a non-Internet e-mail address is imported, the
address is not imported, but the remainder of the contact information is
imported.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
