Exporting contacts files

CONTACTS

Exporting contacts files
You can export one or more contact records into a different file types such as vCard (VCF), comma-separated (CSV), or Lotus 1-2-3.

For best results, use vCard for Yahoo! and IBM Lotus Notes mail clients; use CSV for Google gmail and Microsoft Outlook mail clients. Note that when you export to a vCard file, only one file is created, no matter how many contacts you export.

You cannot export a group as a vCard file. To create a vCard file from a group, print the Group document so you can see all the names, select the names in the Contacts view, and export as a vCard file from there.

1. From Contacts, select one or more contact records.

2. Click File > Export Contacts.

3. Select which contact records to export.

4. Select how much information to export.

Note:

If you choose to export Basic fields, only name, e-mail, primary phone number, company, date modified, and category are included.

5. Specify where you want to save the file and provide a file name.

6. For Save as type, specify a file type.

International (UTF-8) - for Lotus Notes mail users.
Native character set - for users of other mail systems.
