There is a message which says it is importing, but the Webmail Address Book remains empty, with no contacts.
Please advise.

What you'll need to do in order to import your contacts to the webmail, is export the Outlook contacts to vCard format.
To do this, go to the contacts view on Outlook, highlight all the contacts (CTRL+A) and then click on Actions -> Forward as vCard
This will open a new email message with the vCard as an attachment, you don't need to send the email anywhere - All you do is click on File -> Save Attachments and save it
The draft message can then be deleted or saved for future reference.
Next, we need to import the vard to the plusnet webmail, to do this login to the webmail at http://webmail.plus.net with your username and password.
Click on "Address book" and then "Import Contacts" - It's the 3rd icon along on the top left, with 3 postcards and an upwards green arrow.
Search for your file on the hard drive, and upload!
Your address book will now be populated with the contents of your Outlook contacts.
Hope this helps
Matt
EDIT: Thanks Oldjim, have updated to say desktop, in case other people read this

I have tried to do this but I get the message:
"Cannot create file: Olktmp.vcf Right click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties in the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder." I have Norton Internet Security - is that blocking it?

It is possible that it is trying to create it in the protected area of the C: drive

I can copy the pst contacts folder to the desktop, but I do not know how to convert it to vcd from there.

Quote from: Mattz0r ... export the Outlook contacts to vCard format.
To do this, go to the contacts view on Outlook, highlight all the contacts (CTRL+A) and then click on Actions -> Forward as vCard
This will open a new email message with the vCard as an attachment, ...
Since you said you were unable to save the attachment (as per Matt's instructions which I've removed from the quote), I suggested emailing that message to yourself - type your email address in the "To" box, "Contacts" as "Subject", then Send it as you do for any other email.
When the message arrives in your inbox save the attachment as you would any other attachment.

This is what the first step looks like in Outlook 2003 - it is probably the same as 2007
