Importing contacts from hotmail

Is there a way to import hotmails contacts into entourage? I have saved them as a "comma delimited" (cvs) file, but I can't get any further than that.

Actually, the problem occured in field mapping at the end of your suggested steps. However, your question prompted me to try further and I discovered how to remap the fields by dragging imported fields from the right to their correct location on the left (Entourage address book). That worked and the addresses imported just fine. Thanks

  • Importing contacts from Hotmail account

    Previously, all my contacts were taken periodically from my Nokia E71 phone and moved to my Hotmail account.
    I found no reason for this, although other threads here suggested I disable the contacts option in the email accounts part of my phone.
    I not only did this, I upgraded the phone software and then imported the phone contacts from the backup I had made in Nokia PC Suite.
    Now I need to import the rest of my contacts from Hotmail, the ones which were removed from my phone without my wanting them to be removed.
    How do I do that?
    Thanks

    The reason for decoding is that when you open a .csv file in a spreadsheet after having exported to that file via Nokia Communicator, it asks you to pick which option you want to use to decode with.
    I mean, I personally don't get it, but that is what happens.
    The message sent to my email after I installed Nokia Messenger was this;
    Thank you for trying Nokia Messaging! This email message contains important information about the service.
    Costs of the service
    During the trial, there is no cost for the Nokia Messaging service itself. However, data traffic will be charged according to your current operator service plan and may not be included in your flat data rate plan. Please contact your operator to know how much you will be charged.
    Get the most up to date client
    If you signed up for Nokia Messaging directly from your phone, please upgrade your software. The updated version allows you to view emails in HTML, supports Windows Live Hotmail, allows you to set up multiple email addresses, and is a lot faster!
    Using your phone browser, visit http://email.nokia.com and click the download button.
    NOTE: No upgrade is necessary for E75, E72 and E55 phones.
    What happens after the trial?
    As your trial nears its end, we will send you a reminder. If you do not want to purchase a subscription, simply allow the trial period to end. We will notify you when the period ends, and we will cancel your Nokia Messaging account. You will not be billed for the service and you will not have to do anything.
    Enjoy your mobile email!

  • How do i import contacts from my hotmail account

    how do i import contacts from my hotmail account? Every time i try, there's a message that keeps popping up saying that it can't do because the contacts aren't separated by commas...????? Please help, i'm a recent "switcher"
    thanks

    The short answer, for now, is you don't. It's increasingly clear that Microsoft does not want to extend this privilege to users of free HotMail accounts, not does it want to offer POP3 access to anyone other than paying HotMail Plus users at this point, and for the foreseeable future. And, IMAP: that's out of the question, apparently.
    While the plugin idea is a nice one, the referenced open-source HTTPMail plug in is broken by Mac OS X 10.5, and nothing has been heard to date from the developer about an update to support Mail in Leopard.

  • Import Contacts from emails like hotmail, gmail,...

    Do you kno wany functions atht permit to import contacts from
    main emails (yahoo.com, hotmail, gmail, ...) if the user accepts to
    give his user and password .
    it is used to send invitations to diffrent users. A lot of
    sites begin to use that, it is completely viral and I found scripts
    for .net, c++, php, vb, .. but not for ColdFusion.
    It is comletely actaul to have this fucntion available since
    concurrent use it and I don't find any way to do it in Coldfusion
    except by using cfx_http5 but is does not use the API of the emails
    providers and is not easy to support( if the email change his
    design, the cfx_http5 function has to be corrected each time).
    I think it could help a lot of users to have this function
    available for Cold Fusion.
    Any idea ?
    Thanks.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it isn't possible, I was
    just mentioning that you might want to consider another option,
    giving the user a bit more control.
    I haven't seen any CF based solutions for what you are
    describing, but If you've found scripts in c++, consider turning
    that into cfx_tag. If you can find a Java based solution, that
    might be easier to integrate by installing the class/jar file and
    using cfobject.
    Screen scraping is probably the only option unless the target
    service provides an easily consumable source such as XML or through
    an API. In the case of a Yahoo Premium account, you can export
    contact information, such as to a CSV. You may also have to develop
    the authentication mechanism which might require the use of an API
    key along with some encryption mechanism (usually MD5) to encode
    the api key, userid, and password to obtain an authentication
    token.
    As far as "MySpace is doing it", there might be some behind
    the scenes agreements that have been worked out both from a
    technical as well as a legal aspect. I would suggest that you
    contact each service that you are planning on supporting with this
    feature directly. The response you get back should give you a
    pretty clear indication on what is allowed, assuming you can get
    past the "Customer Support" screeners.
    You mentioned that what you are attempting is temporary in
    nature, but can the user be 100% convinced that it is temporary?
    Unless the user has 100% access to your system to verify that the
    information hasn't been kept in a log or database, they can't be
    sure. Case in point, Disney is a well respected company but
    recently one of their employees was caught in an Identity Theft
    Scheme. (
    http://www.identitytheft911-newdimensionsfcu.com/alerts/alert.ext?sp=996)
    A user's permission doesn't mean that you haven't violated
    the services "TOS" . While there are coding applications in other
    langages that can perform email harvesting, that doesn't
    necessarily mean that they are legal just because they exist.
    Here's an excerpt from the Yahoo Developer docs on the Mail
    API (
    http://developer.yahoo.com/mail/docs/html/index.html)
    . Item 2, while it specifically states "User Data", the
    contents of the address book could be easily construed as user
    data.
    1. You must use the Browser Based Authentication API to
    enable access to the user's Yahoo! account through your
    Application.
    2. You may not use the Yahoo! Mail Web Service API to mine or
    scrape user data from the user's Yahoo! account.
    3. You may not use the Yahoo! Mail Web Service API to
    recreate a mimicked version of Yahoo! Mail on your site.
    4. You may not use the Yahoo! Mail Web Service API to display
    the user's Yahoo! account information in a third party email
    client.

  • Sync Contacts from Hotmail?

    Has anyone had luck syncing contacts from hotmail to the kin onem?

    When you set up email accounts on your phone, the only contacts that sync automatically are Exchange account contacts. You need to follow a different process to import contacts from Windows Live, Yahoo!, AOL, and Gmail.
    First you need to sign into Windows Live on the Social Networking screen to auto-import your Windows Live contacts.
    Then you will import your contacts from other email accounts to your Windows Live contacts. The contacts will automatically sync to your phone.
    Step 1: On your phone
    Sign in to Windows Live:
    There are several ways to sign in:
    Go to the Favorites Home screen and tap All contacts > Accounts.
    Go to Apps > Contactsand tap Accounts.
    Go to Apps > Settings, then slide your finger left to view the App setup screen. Then tap Social Networks.
    The Social networks sign-in screen appears. Tap the social network you want to sign in to. For the steps below, select Windows Live™ - Live ID. The username you used to sign into your phone is pre-populated.
    Tap Saveto sign in. Once you’ve signed in successfully, your contacts and/or feeds will sync to your phone, as applicable.
    Step 2: On your computer
    Now that you’re signed into Windows Live on your phone, you are ready to import your contacts to Windows Live. Once you do that, the contacts will automatically sync to your phone.
    You can use any type of email account, including:
    • Branded POP/IMAP email accounts
    • Other POP/IMAP email accounts
    You’ll need the following information if you have one of the branded accounts (Hotmail, Gmail,
    Yahoo! Mail, AOL):
    • Your username - The first part of your email address
    • Your password - The password you use to sign in to your account.
    For other POP/IMAP accounts you’ll also need:
    • Incoming server name - This is typically “pop.domain.com”.
    • Outgoing server name - This is typically “smtp.domain.com”.

  • How can i import contacts from another AIM account to this new one

    If you reference my last ichat question, you will see that I have had serious problems and had to create a new account.
    How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

    Hi,
    Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
    Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

  • I can't import contacts from Outlook to Address Book

    I've tried to do the research before asking this question, but I can't get this to work. How do you import contacts from Microsoft Outlook to Address book? When I try to export from Outlook, the only option I have is .csv file, it doesn't give me an option to export as a vcard. I've exported to a .csv file and tried importing this into Address Book as a text file, and it opens up a window called Text File Import. When I click OK nothing happens. I'm new to the Mac world so I don't know what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    One way if you are still accessing an email account with Outlook is the following:
    In Contacts, click the contact you want to send as a vCard or select all to send all, and then on the Actions menu, click Forward as vCard.
    All contacts will be added to a new message created as separate vCard attachments. Send the message to an email account you are accessing with the Mail.app on the Mac.
    Create a folder on the Mac desktop or in your location of choice and save all vCard attachments received via email to this folder.
    Launch Address Book and at the menu bar, go to File > Import and select vCards navigating to the folder that contains the vCard files sent from Outlook.

  • How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file.  But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file.  I just did it to be sure it works.
    1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
    2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
    3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
    4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
    I hope this is what you're trying to do!

  • How can i import contacts from android to iphone?

    Hi.
    I just switched over from my old Samsung Galaxy S3 android phone to my new iPhone 6 plus.
    As a first thing in setting up my new iphone, I want to import my contacts.
    I have tried some ways but they don't work.
    I have installed a 'contacts backup and restore' app called 'GCloud' on my android app. I generated a .csv file from this backup app. But I cannot import contacts from the csv file to my iphone.
    I also tried Google contacts; the easiest way. But somehow Google simply refuses to sync my latest contacts list. It contains a very old and outdated list of contacts.
    Thanks for help.

    So I deeply apologize for my above erroneous post above and I am very grateful for your helpful reply and the link you sent me.
