Extracting outlook contacts?

[MikeHunt79]

Is there a nice way of doing this? I've got an old machine and I need to extract all my contacts from it... What's the easiest way of doing this?

file import/export. Export from old and then inport in to new

Might be worth copying this file as well as it remembers contacts when typing in email address. May need to change file name to new profile if this changes.


C:\Documents and Settings\<name of profile>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\<profilename>.NK2

Cheers I'll give that a go...

Forgot to mention, I'm using MS Outlook 2003, and they appear to be in a PST file....

Is there a way I can convert all the contacts to something like vCard files?

You will need to locate .pst file. copy to new machine.

File>open>outlook data file.

default location for .pst is:

C:\Documents and Settings\<profile name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Ahh, I found the PST file, I imported it then exported Vcards - Worked a treat.
