The instruction below will explain how to export the contacts of your
address book from Microsoft Outlook Express for importing into your
Subscriber list. - Open the Microsoft Outlook Express email client and click on the Addresses icon at the top.
- Select File>Export>Address Book.
- From the list of export options, select Text File (Comma Separated Values) and press Export
- Press
Browse and locate a place on your hard drive to save your export file.
You may want to choose to save it on your desktop by press the Desktop
icon on the left side of the window.
One you have located a place to save your file, enter a name for your file such as subscriber_export and then press Save. - Press Next.
- The default address bookcolumns should be checked but you are welcome to make any adjustments you want. All that must be checked is E-mail Address. Then press Finish.
- When prompted that the export process has completed, press OK. Then press Close to close the Address Book Export Tool.
- Locate the file that you just saved and open this file with your spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel or Open Office.
- While opening, if you are prompted to enter the import option, just press OK to continue. The default options should be fine.
- The
column names will already be entered in the first row of your
spreadsheet. However, you must change them to correspond to the
subscriber fields as they exist in the mailer system. Those names that
can be changed from Outlook (left) to match that of the IGotYourEmail
subscriber columns (right) are as follows:
- First Name : First Name
- Last Name : Last Name
- Name : NA (could be used in place of First Name)
- E-mail Address : Email Address
- Business Phone : Phone Number
- Business Fax : Fax Number
- Business Street : Address
- Business City : City
- Business State : State
- Business Post Code : Zip/Postal Code
- Business Country/Region : Country
Do
not enter any duplicate column names. Instead select which column of
the same name that you want to use, and use that one as the data to be
imported. NA means that this column name is not applicable. The mailer
column names are defaults which you may have changed for you account. - Once
you have entered in the column names for those columns that you want to
import leaving all others blank or unchanged, save this file by selecting
File>Save. This will save over your existing CSV file. And this file
is now ready for importing.
