You use Outlook Express.  If you know of a way to export your address book
in Outlook Express, there may be a way to import it into LinkedIn.

But, it may just be easier to search for people that you know to see if
they're already on LinkedIn, starting with people in your field and
expanding from there.

I started with my immediate co-workers first, and then ex-co-workers, and
then college friends, and then high school friends.

Also, I'm not sure why you're getting emails like below.  If it's annoying
to you, an option would be to give me your password and I could log on to
your LinkedIn account and disable all communication.
