Contacts won't keep imported addresses from Outlook

When I import my contact addresses from Outlook into PE8 Contacts, they are all there for just that instance, then they all will disappear the next time I go to the contact page.  I can't find any option to fix that.  I have signed in and looked in my Adobe account and don't find anything there either.  What do you need to do/set/click on to permanently keep the addresses imported?  If I manually enter one, it stays.

Let's go step-by-step to see what the issue might be:
1. In Outlook, select one contact.
2. Right-click the contact and select Send Full Contact > In Internet Format (vCard).  This creates a draft email message with the selected contact as a vCard attachment.
After step 2, do you see the attachment in the draft message?  In Outlook 2007, it looks like:
It should look similar in Outlook 2003.   If you can't see where the attachment is, post a screenshot here (come to the Web to reply, not by email, and use the Attach Files command at the bottom of the message window).
3. Click on that attachment and drag it to your Windows desktop.  On my Windows 7, it looks like:
If you other versions of Windows, it will look a little different.

  • How do I import addresses from Outlook to MacBook

    I recently inherited a 3 year old MacBook Pro and I want this computer to replace my old MS laptop using Outlook 10.  Any idea how to import the address book (which is first priority) and then also the old emails and calendar items that I have in Outlook?

    You have to have itunes on your computer to import contacts via iTunes. the iTunes app on the iPad isn't good for anything but making purchases.
    Download and install iTunes. Plug your device in and you may need to research setting it up without wiping anything out. And then under the info tab of the compuer iTunes you'll see the option to sync contacts.
    If you don't want to mess with this, the only other ways to get the contacts is to explore iCloud syncing, or e-mail them to yourself, one at a time, and open that mail on your iPad and save them from there.

Seems I no longer have an outlook contacts list.

    It's Outlook, not Outlook Express (different program) and if you have now deleted them from iCloud and do not have a backup they are gone.

  • How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

    How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

    Do you have any addresses in the Lion version?
    If not, copy the AddressBook folder from your username/Library/Application Support/ folder on the old mac (or backup).
    Copy it to the same location on your new Mac, replacing the one that is there. Start Address Book in Mountain Lion and it should convert the files to the correct format.
    If you do have addresses, it is a little more complicated.
    First, create a Contacts Archive (from File>Export menu). This will be your backup.
    Next, export the current contacts as vCards.
    Then, follow the steps above.
    Then, import all the cards you exported. If you select all and double-click, it will ask if you want to add them. You'll then have to add them to whatever groups you had set up.

  • How do I import mail from Outlook 2010?

    When I try to import my emails from Outlook 2010 I get the following message:
    "An error occurred importing mail from Outlook
    Unable to find mail to import. Check to make sure the mail application is correctly installed on this machine."

    You'll need to do it from a 32bit version - Mail/Live mail do not recongise outlook 2010 64 bit.  Dropping EML files into Outlook folder has always created new messages with attachments - this is nothing new.
    ETA: if you can email the messages as attachments, you can drag them from the message and drop them in the Inbox.  This obviously works best if there aren't hundreds of messages to convert. :)
    There are 3rd party utilties that can make the conversion but they may not work with the 64bit version. See http://www.slipstick.com/config/convmsg.htm for a list of programs that can make the conversion but i don't know if any of them work with 64bit outlook.

    iPhone contacts, Country field, keeps Syncmyride  Navigation from  giving directions.  Is there a way to leave Country field blank?  Thanks for any help.  Jww

    Syncmyride. That's what's having the problem. If it were handing the data properly, it wouldn't be a problem. You should not have to remove data from your contacts in order for an app that is accessing the contact data to work correctly. This is a bug in syncmyride. It has nothing to do with iCloud or anything else that Apple controls.

  • My iphone 6plus won't sync my calendar from outlook 2010.  How can I fix this?

    My iphone 6plus won't sync my calendar from Outlook 2010.  How can I make this work again?

    If you put information into one calendar and it synced to the other phone, then it sounds as if you are using iCloud, not Outlook. You need to check that. When I asked about the type of calendar, I was asking if this was your own Outlook, or were you using a work Exchange calendar. If you don't know the difference, I would say it is probably personal. If you look at calendars in the bottom center, are there more than one calendar listed? Do you see an ICloud calendar? Do you see an Outlook calendar?

  • Thunderbird won't import events from outlook

    I moved my e-mail and contacts from Outlook to TB (using PST Converter), but importing events doesn't work. Converter creates a .ics file.

  • Outlook 2007 won't open .pst file from Outlook 2000

    I have been using Outlook 2000 for 10 years and hit the 2GB limit. As a result, Outlook 2000 would not open mail and did not permit me to delete mail to clear space.
    I’d been meaning to install my Office 2007 and this seemed like the time to do so. Once installed, I attempted to open my 2 GB PST file in Outlook 2007. No luck.
    Messages: “The message interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.” And “Cannot display information. There is either a problem connecting to the server or an error has occurred.”
    Researching on the Web, I found Microsoft guidance that I could create a new data file and import the old (ANSI) .PST file into this new (Unicode) .PST file. When I did
    that, during the Import, I encountered another error message: “The file has reached its maximum size. (Followed by two unhelpful sentences – can’t be imported).”
    OK, I think, I have to reduce the size of that file. Research yields Microsoft’s “oversized PST and PST crop tool.”
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088 I do that and follow the instructions to scan the truncated file with Microsoft’s
    scanpst.exe tool, which is included with Office.
    Another error: scanpst.exe will not complete its scan. I receive a mysterious error message with no indication what the exact problem is. I created multiple versions
    of the truncated .PST file, each smaller than the last, so that the smallest was 1.7 GB. Still errors with scanpst.exe and ultimately no luck.
    I have spent more than 10 hours trying to solve this problem and am at wit’s end. I’m a freelance writer, and it’s costing me money. What’s worse,
    info on projects I’m supposed to be working on are locked in that PST file! All data is stored locally on a Dell laptop with Windows 7.
    Help anybody? Please? Thank you!

    Fifteen hours later, I was back in business, having upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007, a process one would expect to take a half-hour tops. I'm no IT pro, but
    I am pretty accomplished at fixing problems. This one seemed beyond my reach, as neither of the utilities Microsoft recommended to address the issue, the truncation tool and scanpst.exe, worked -- what a surprise! I engaged a local technician to diagnose the
    problem remotely, and over a course of four hours he fixed it using a third-party program called "Outlook Recovery Toolbox." I'd actually downloaded that tool and fooled around a bit, but didn't use it for a full scan as I think that required a purchase, and
    who knows if it's malware or what. Well, it worked.
    So 15 hours lost. That cost me hundreds of dollars as I am self-employed, plus I have a $150 bill from the technician, which is more than fair for his two hours of labor
    (the extra two hours were scanning and importing time). Again, Microsoft managed to turn into an epic ordeal what the consumer expects to be a straightforward upgrade process.
    Now I have Outlook 2007, oh boy! The first thing I notice is the inflexible mail header above the message body. WTF is that supposed to be? Who was the Einstein who thought
    that up? It renders USELESS like an inch of real estate right in the center of the screen! I find that it can be hidden (not, of course, with a simple, convenient and sensible right click ... oh NOOOO ... but through multi-click options available in the toolbar).
    (For background, Outlook 2000 did not have that inflexible mail header -- the header info (subject, date, sender, CC) was part of the email, so if you scrolled down the
    email, the header went with it and made the best possible use of available space).
    Now here's a twist -- Outlook does not show, in your list of emails, whether an email has an attachment if the email was sent via Lotus Notes. That was a glitch in 2000,
    and one I would expect to have been resolved in 2007. BUT NO. So, just moments ago, I have an email/meeting invitation sent from a client using Lotus Notes. Even though I had told Outlook to hide headers, it disobeyed me ... 
    why? Because this was a "meeting invite" email, offering me options, in that stupid inflexible header, to Accept, Decline, Propose New Time, & etc. Well, those options only increased the size of that inflexible header, so that the visible area of
    the email WAS LESS THAN ONE INCH HIGH. Yes, I can adjust it -- how very productive!
    These two Microsoft glitches / manifestations of poor design -- no alerting to attachments from Lotus clients and that horrid header -- very nearly conspired to cause
    me to miss a critical attachment displayed only at the very bottom of the email. The document attached needs to be read and commented before the meeting, and only by the grace of God did I happen to scroll, IN THAT 3/4 INCH MAIL WINDOW, to the bottom and happen
    to spot said critical attachment.
    Do I expect anything more from Microsoft ... other than more grief and stupidity? Sadly, I do not. It is my misfortune in life to have to use Microsoft Word on a daily
    basis, as I have for the past 10 years.
    Before that, I used WordPerfect and what a wonderful program it was! I recall using WordPerfect to write and design one lovely graphical document in particular that earned
    me an A+ in class. WordPerfect was so easy and powerful, with virtually no hassles—just gratification. Is it better to have loved (WordPerfect) and lost, than to have never loved at all?
    Unfortunately, since all my clients use Word, I have to as well. Frankly, and I hope this isn’t against board rules, I am merely speaking the truth as I see it—Microsoft
    Word is an utterly wretched application that has caused me untold grief and aggravation. Bulleting, text boxes, fickle fonts, the list is very, very long …. But it only gets worse!!!
    The whole .doc .vs 
    docx is a complete debacle; the “Compatibility Pack” is a cruel joke. If I use Word 2000 on .docx documents, here are some of the inconveniences and frustrations that I encounter:
    Bulleting function grayed out
    Spelling errors not highlighted
    Additional linespaces introduced into printed documents
    Mysterious transposition of bold, italics and underlining
    Inability to work with text boxes (“Error! Reference source not found!”)
    Track Changes not accurately recorded
    These are not incidental issues. I’m a spelling bee champion, but unless the spelling highlight function works, I am bound to have a typo or two in a 20-page document.
    This affects the quality of my work and my livelihood.
    To make matters worse, my Windows 7 often won’t find .docx documents. If I had worked on a .docx document something four months that I recall included the word
    “Rumplestiltskin,” the Windows 7 Find function should locate it, but it does not. 
    I could go on and on. How about the dismal wireless connectivity in Window 7, vs. XP, which was virtually flawless. But I’m trying to catch up on the 15 hours that I lost yesterday thanks to Microsoft’s
    awful Outlook troubleshooting and upgrade functionality.

  • How to extract email address from Outlook friendly name cache

    Hi guys,
    A while ago, somebody wrote a little VBA utility to help us to log CRM events. Whenever a user sends an email to a customer, it logs the fact in our CRM database. This is the programmatic process:
    1. Grab the email address from ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.To
    2. If it's a valid email address, all well and good. Proceed to Step 8.
    3. If not a valid email address (it must be a friendly name, perhaps located in Exchange), look for the address in:
    ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Recipients.Item(1).AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser.PrimarySmtpAddress
    4. If it's a valid email address, all well and good. Proceed to Step 8.
    5. If not a valid email address (it must be in the user's Contact list), look for the address in:
    ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Recipients.Item(1).AddressEntry.GetContact.Email1Address
    6. If it's a valid email address, all well and good. Proceed to Step 8.
    7. If not a valid email address, then crash!!!         <<------------------------------------------------- Here's where I'm stuck!
    8. Get the CustomerID from the CRM, based on email address.
    9. Do a bunch of other stuff (for example, send the email, and log the event in the CRM).
    I'm a former Access MVP, and am highly experienced with VBA, but my forte is clearly not Outlook. What I'd like to do is find the email address by looking in the local cache, and make sure I get the actual email address rather than the friendly name.
    I'm not sure if 'local cache' is the right word; I know Outlook stores frequently used email address in some sort of cache, even if the user has not explicitly stored it as a Contact. I just don't know how to find it. Can anyone point me in the right
    direction, maybe with a method name?
    Also, while mucking about with it, I found the following. Would it be useful in this scenario?
    ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Recipients.Item(1).AddressEntry.GetExchangeDistributionList
    Many thanks,

    Hi Graham,
    This might help you to figure things out a bit.
    The contact cache you are looking for is called the nickname cache, also known as the "autocomplete stream."
    The nickname files (.nk2) used by older versions of Outlook (2007 and below).
    Outlook 2010 and 2013 does not use the NK2 file; it stores the autocomplete cache in the mailbox or data file and caches the addresses in an autocomplete stream at C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache. The cache is stored in a file
    named Stream_Autocomplete_0_[long GUID].dat.
    For applications that interact with Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013, the autocomplete stream is stored as a MAPI property and can be modified using the MAPI or the
    PropertyAccessor object of the message. The PropertyAccessor object is exposed in the Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013 object models.
    Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013 reads the autocomplete stream from a message in the Associated Contents table of the Inbox of the mail account’s delivery store. This hidden message has a message class and subject of IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete. The autocomplete
    stream is stored on this message in the PR_ROAMING_BINARYSTREAM property (PidTagRoamingBinary Canonical Property).
