I have a different outlook screen and can’t find this option.

Nice presentation with clearly articulated instructions. Unfortunately, the presentation did not address how to export to a format that could be read by the Outlook import wizard. The presenter (seemed like competent IT guy) left me hanging on the one piece of information I hoped to glean from the video.... "you are going to have to do a little more manual work to update your contact list". No follow on explanation about the manual work effort he referred to.

you cannot import a whole list of contacts? that's no sense

i have a Vcard file. This gave no information on how to actually import a Vcard file.

I think a video with a tutorial step by step showing the screen is better to show people especially if your video is a ‘how to’ video.

Is there a part 2 to this? I'm trying to transfer my Outlook 2012 contact files (VCARD?) to a new computer that has Microsoft 365. This video ends with the promise of converting the csv files into VCARD - but then ends and doesn't show how to do that.

स्मार्टफोन से कॉन्टैक्ट्स एक्सपोर्ट नहीं कर सकते हैं क्या? वेबसाइट पर भी इम्पोर्ट या एक्सपोर्ट का ऑप्शन नहीं है।

I have just got Office 365 on my new Dell desktop, I have been using outlook 2003 for many years and found it very good, but is it possible to transfer all of my data and files from my old Outlook 2003 to Outlook on my New computer? 4th Dec 2024. Thanks 4:07

Ignore this . Very poor. My Outlook screen does not match his. Useless info. There is no "file" heading on mine.

Can you show the CSV file? I haven't found one YouTube channel showing how to export Contacts to a CSV file when the Contacts contain more than one email address. Each email address should be separated by a ';' when there is a contact listing more than I email address.

I just don't understand why I can add my group list to the account I want to it go to.

[fredricmiller]

My goal is to import all my Google contacts into Outlook. Appears that Outlook needs the vCard format to import. Have tried multiple approaches but can't get more than 1 contact included in the vCard file, even with Google Takeout. Help please.

[stealthbusiness]

Cool tutorial, thank you for putting it together.
Please make a video that can export or save all the email account settings only. I find this is really needful, yet difficult to find How to do it.

Was looking to import a batch of contacts from gmail via csv. Do I select from another program option?

[icarhunt]

Hello and tnk 4 this video. But how can I export a lot of contacts from CPANEL WEBMAIL and import after this, to OUTLOOK ?

[goose]

Great! My outlook 365 has none of these features, no file menu, no way to import, useless program!

[Sisyphus]

First there is no such thing as any useful feature in outlook 365. the program is designed to make every task hard to do then in the past.
