Importing Contact Information

You can export contact information from another address book service or application and import it into Convergence to quickly populate your address books.

Note:

On tablets, you cannot import contact information.

When you export contact information, the other service or application creates an export file. This is the file you import into Convergence. You can import contact information that has been exported as CSV and vCard 3.0 files.

Note:

Your service provider may also allow you to import contact information in the LDIF and vCard 2.1 formats.

This section assumes you have already exported contact information from another service or application.

To import contact information:

  1. In the Address Book section, select the personal address book into which you want to import contact information.

  2. From the toolbar in the Address Book section, select the Import/Export icon (the book icon with a small device on top) and select Import.

    The Import Contacts to Address Book dialog box appears.

  3. Select the Browse button and select the export file.

  4. Select the Import Contacts button.

    The Import Contacts to Address Book dialog box displays the number of contacts that were imported.
