Now I have to click “Save & Close” 116 times. So yer, I now have 116 contact windows open. This then proceeded to open each one as a seperate window. What I did is select all the vcards in explorer and then drag and dropped them into the Contacts pane.
See, you can do it one at a time via the File->Open->Import option but that sucks. Now this is my own special retarded method of importing the vcards. When this is done you should have a VCF file for each of your contacts.īack in Outlook open the Contacts page. I created a temp one called Contacts in my downloads directory for this. You then have to pick a directory to save all the files to. Select all your contacts and then do File->Export->Business card (VCF). When it’s done open up Outlook and you should see all your messages in the Mail column. This will then start exporting all your messages. I just left it on the “All Folders” option and clicked OK. Make sure Outlook is closed and then in WLM go to File->Export->Messages and choose “Microsoft Exchange”. Bit of a pain since I have 7 accounts but it’s not too bad since I’m just copy and pasting from the WLM window to the Outlook one, well except for my passwords. So I basically just went old-skool and opened WLM and Outlook side by side, then just manually entered the account details. I couldn’t get the exported mail accounts to import into Outlook, it just refused to see the IAF files. The basics of it are to export your messages from WLM in a format that Outlook can then import. There is a way around this but it does require a wee bit of work. Those same powers also saw fit to make Outlook 2010 unable to directly import mail and account settings from WLM. It would of been nice if that could sync with Windows Live Mail but hey, the powers that be decided that would be too easy. My main motivation was so I could use Outlook to sync my contacts with my HD2 WinMo phone.
I signed up to the Microsoft Office 2010 beta program last week.
