Answer

If you can export your contacts from Outlook to a .vcard file, you can import that file to the Email Continuity or IzzyMail Address Book. Here is an example of a few entries in a .vcard file:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:Lastname;Firstname;;;
FN:Firstname Lastname
EMAIL;INTERNET:firstnamelastname@domain.com
NOTE:id: cn=Firstname lastname,mail=firstnamelastname@domain.com
END:VCARD

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
EMAIL;INTERNET:jd@domain.com
NOTE:id: mail=jd@domain.com
FN:jd@domain.com
END:VCARD

Once the .vcard file is created, log into your web-based email account.

  1. Select "Address Book" from the top-right navigation
  2. Select the import icon from the top left navigation. (This icon looks like a Rolodex card with a green up arrow.)
  3. Click "Browse" and navigate the the .vcard file created above.
  4. Click "Import"

When the import is complete, a screen will appear listing the number of contacts successfully created. If no contacts are created, please go to: http://support.webservio.net. Create a ticket and attach the .vcard file you are using for the import.
