To export the contacts from an Outlook contacts folder, proceed as follows:
- Open Outlook and activate the Contacts view. Under the Start tab, you should see the "FritzBox Import-Export" section. If not, you must first install the add-in.
- Click on "Contacts Export".
- The export dialog will appear. The default contacts folder is already selected in the combo box. If you want to export from a different folder, you can change the selection using the drop-down button on the right. All contacts folders that have the Outlook attribute "Show in Address Book" are displayed. If the folder you want to import contacts to is not listed there either, you can check the "Show all contact folders" option. This will also display internal Outlook contact folders.
- If you do not want to use the default output file, click "Browse" to locate and select the output file using the file selection dialog.
- Click "Start export" to start the export.
- If the selected FritzBox XML file already exists, you will be asked whether you want to merge the contacts in the file or overwrite the file. If you select "Merge", the contacts from the file will be imported and exported together with the Outlook contacts to the same file.
- The export dialog disappears temporarily and the process view appears. All exported contacts are listed in the log messages list box.
- Click "Close" to return to the export dialog.
- You can also close the export dialog if you do not want to perform any further exports.
- Now you can import the output file into the FritzBox as described here.
