Why do you think Outlook Express's behavior would have any bearing on how
Outlook behaves?
Since IMAP servers cannot contain contacts folders, I don't see how your
account type could be affecting the issue or why you'd get a message about
the IMAP server when trying to export contacts. Why are you trying to
export the contacts? What is the goal?

The message is that there is a MAPI error 08X0040600 and that I can't
import/export, try again later. This happens about halfway through the
exporting process. The file that is created is about half the size of the
original. My reference to Express was that I had no problem before with this
simple procedure. I want to create the file so that I can put my contacts
into my Google account.
Thanks.

The message is that an error occurred while importing/exporting error
0X80040600 and that it had to stop, try again later. About 1/2 of the file
is in csv format, which corresponds to when the error message appears. I'm
trying to create this file so that I can import my contacts into Google
account. The reference to Express is that I have done this before with
Express with no problems.
Thanks.

Oh. A typo. You wrote "IMAP" when you meant to write "MAPI".

Have you tried Help>Office Diagnostics? Have you tried the Inbox Repair
Tool?

But since Outlook Express doesn't have anything to do with Outlook, it's not
germane.

ergo - the PST file you are exporting from has a problem.
If this is the case, the first order of business would be to fix your PST
file by running ScanPST on the PST file. (Since you say this is a new
computer - is it correct to assume that the PST file being used in this case
was created by Outlook '2007 or was it migrated from a previous version of
Outlook?. If you migrated from a previous Outlook version - how was the data
originally populated?)
This is also a very good example of why it is extremely important to provide
"exact" information (particularly complete error messages) and not something
paraphrased when posting a problem resulting in getting an answer/possible
solution will be a whole lot faster.
