exporting multiple Outlook Express contacts to one .vcf file

Post by stuck »

My webmail can import contacts as vCards but as far as I can see the 'export' feature in the Outlook Express address book only lets you export contacts one at a time = painfully slooooow and then I'd have to import them one at a time, more slooooow.

After a bit of Googling I found the hints I needed to speed this up here:

In outline, I dragged and dropped multiple contacts into the body of an OE message. OE created .vcf attachments for each one. Emailed it to myself and saved all the .vcf files to a folder then, the :cool: bit, concatenated all the .vcf files in to one by opening a command prompt and typing:

Code: Select all

copy /a *.vcf c:\allcards.vcf
Neat.
