How to add IM field to default map to Import to Outlook

L

I'd like to Import a .csv file of contacts with IM addresses. I have
user-defined AOL IM and Yahoo IM, but can't seem to get them moved over to
the map with other fields. Suggestions?

export a contact list with those fields filled in and use the field names in
your csv file.

If your reference to "I have user-defined AOL IM and Yahoo IM
addresses,......" refers to user-defined fields in Outlook, answer is that
you cannot import to any cusotm fields using the standard Outlook import
wizard. You'll need a 3rd party tool for that (such as ContactGenie Importer
or DataPorter etc http://www.contactgenie.com/cg20features.htm) or write
your own custom code.

If the above references fields within the CSV file, you simply need to
manually map the fields to any of the available Outlook fields shown by the
Outlook import wizard.
