When working with your Web-Based Email Address Book, you can import or export an address book in a comma-separated value (CSV) format. A CSV file is a standardized file that most email clients are able to use to import and export address book files.

To Import an Address Book

  1. From the Address Book menu, click Import/Export Contacts.
  2. In the CSV File field, click Browse.
  3. Locate and open the .csv file.
  4. Click Import CSV.

    NOTE: Listed in the CSV Columns are fields in the file you are importing. Listed in the Address Book Columns are fields from the Web-Based Email address book. Web-Based Email matches the fields in both columns, but you can override the mapping suggestions.

  5. If you want to change mapped options under Address Book Columns, select different values from the lists.
  6. Select an option for dealing with duplicate address book entries.
  7. Click Import CSV.

NOTE: You can import up to 2,000 addresses at one time.
