Importing contacts into Exchange

have Outlook 2003 which I use to POP email from my provider into my private
folders. I also have contacts and calendar entries. I use Wireless Sync to
sync it all up with my Treo running Windows Mobile.

I want to upgrade from POP to Exchange service with my provider
(hostway.com). However, my provider tells me that I can bring over my old
POP'ed email to my Outlook's Exchange mailbox but not my contacts or calendar
entries. Is there a way to do this by importing a file or just copy/paste
from one place to another within Outlook? (I am a one person company so it
is OK for my personal contacts to be the same as the "company" contacts.)

Your provider is wrong, unless they're speaking of on-line calendar and
contact data. If it's the calendar and contacts you've been keeping in
Outlook, then of course you can move it.

Just set up your Exchange account and then you can drag-and-drop from your
PST to the Exchange server.
