Vcards

[Vista User]

I have microsoft outlook 2007 and I have been trying to import my vcards from
a folder. I can easily import one Vcard at a time, but not all at once. also
dragging all the vcards to outlook doesn't help. It only opens the vcards.
Anyone knows how can i import all my Vcards at once from another folder on my
computer to outlook?

you'll need a 3rd party utility to import multiple vcards... or drop them
in outlook as you tried and when they all open, click save and close. that
should add them to the contacts.

http://www.slipstick.com/config/convaddr.htm - at the bottom of the page,
outlook to vcard in bulk for a list of utilities.

Is it crazy that the only way to do this is to buy something? Isn't Outlook
expensive enough?

By the same token we could ask you why they are in a folder on your hard
drive - isn't that a crazy place to store vcards?

Unfortunately, outlook does not support bulk import so it’s the only option.
If you have a few, opening them and using Save and Close works fine and is
faster than messing with the import menu - and is free. But if you have a
lot and value your time, a 3rd party utility can be cost effective.
