How Export-Import Contacts Btwn Mac OS X Address Book And MS Outlook?

jyl · jyl's Garage

I have to export-import my full list of contacts back and forth between Mac OS-X Address Book (home) and MS Outlook (work). Is there a utility that does this?

A commercial app is fine, this is important enough I'd pay up for it.

Want to be able to do it all at once (have 2,000+ contacts) not in individual vcfs, also want to be able to do it via emailing files between home and work.

Thanks.

I'll check that out. Seems like once I get it into a CSV file, I should be OK.

Thanks!

Another question along these lines. I go from a desktop to laptop every couple of months, then live with the laptop on the road.

How in the world do I copy my information on the Desktop Outlook system to the laptop without losing anything? I have tried this a couple of times and I always end up losing some of my data or emails.

TIA...

You can simply copy outlook.pst. It's buried, so just use search to find it*. You can delete the extend.dat file so you don't lose your contacts index. You might find it will re-download your inbox if you leave them on the server.
