Importing an email address
book
A-61544 April 2006
CSV (comma separated value) files are data files that represent
database information. Each row contains individual data values that are
separated by a comma. Each comma found on a line of text represents
a column of data from the original database. The example below shows
typical data exported from Microsoft's Outlook Express. Note that the
first row contains the data column header information and not actual
data.
First Name,Last Name,E-mail Address
Smith,John,johnsmith@rochester.rr.com
Tom,Brown,Tombrown123@yahoo.com
William,Doe,wdoe@msn.com
Outlook Express allows you to export your email address book to a
comma-separated file. When exporting your email address book a
dialog box will be displayed that provides the selection of which data
columns to export.
Other mail programs may or may not provide this selection capability.
To simplify the process it is recommended that only the first name, last
name, and email address be exported. Once the file is exported, it can
then be imported into the Configuration Organizer.
