Importing​ ​Contacts

Within​ ​the​ ​Finmail Webmail​ ​address​ ​book,​ ​contacts​ ​can​ ​be​ ​imported​ ​from​ ​vCard​ ​and​ ​CSV​ ​files.

1. Access​ ​the​ ​address​ ​book​ ​view​ ​and​ ​click​ ​on​ ​the​ ​Import​ ​button​ ​located​ ​in​ ​the​ ​top​ ​toolbar​ ​to​ ​initiate​ ​the​ ​import​ ​wizard.
2. Browse​ ​your​ ​computer’s​ ​hard​ ​drive​ ​and​ ​select​ ​the​ ​desired​ ​.vcf​ ​or​ ​.csv​ ​file​ ​for​ ​import.
3. Choose​ ​the​ ​address​ ​book​ ​where​ ​the​ ​imported​ ​contacts​ ​should​ ​be​ ​placed.​ ​Use​ ​caution​ ​when​ ​selecting the checkbox​ ​to​ ​delete​ ​all​ ​contacts​ ​from​ ​the​ ​selected​ ​address​ ​book,​ ​as​ ​this​ ​action​ ​cannot​ ​be​ ​undone.
4. ​Click​ ​the​ ​Import​ ​button​ ​to​ ​initiate​ ​the​ ​import​ ​process.

Upon​ ​completion,​ ​the​ ​import​ ​results​ ​will​ ​be​ ​displayed​ ​on​ ​the​ ​next​ ​screen.​ ​Click​ ​Close​ ​to​ ​return​ ​to​ ​the​ ​address​ ​book​ ​view​ ​and​ ​view​ ​the​ ​imported​ ​contacts.

Exporting​ ​Contacts

Finmail Webmail​ ​address​ ​books​ ​support​ ​exporting​ ​contacts​ ​solely​ ​in​ ​vCard​ ​format.

1. Select​ ​the​ ​desired​ ​address​ ​book​ ​or​ ​group​ ​for​ ​export.
2. Click​ ​the​ ​Export​ ​button​ ​located​ ​in​ ​the​ ​top​ ​toolbar.
3. If​ ​prompted,​ ​select​ ​the​ ​location​ ​to​ ​save​ ​the​ ​exported​ ​.vcf​ ​file.​ ​Alternatively,​ ​check​ ​the​ ​”Downloads”​ ​folder​ ​on​ ​your​ ​computer​ ​for​ ​a​ ​file​ ​named​ ​”contacts.vcf”.

The​ ​Export​ ​toolbar​ ​button​ ​offers​ ​the​ ​following​ ​two​ ​options:

Export​ ​all

By​ ​default,​ ​all​ ​contacts​ ​currently​ ​listed​ ​will​ ​be​ ​included​ ​in​ ​the​ ​vcard​ ​file.

Export​ ​selected

If​ ​one​ ​or​ ​more​ ​contacts​ ​have​ ​been​ ​selected​ ​in​ ​the​ ​list​ ​(achieved​ ​by​ ​holding​ ​down​ ​the​ ​Shift​ ​or​ ​Ctrl​ ​keys​ ​while​ ​clicking​ ​on​ ​individual​ ​contacts),​ ​this​ ​option​ ​will​ ​generate​ ​a​ ​.vcf​ ​file​ ​containing​ ​only​ ​the​ ​selected​ ​contacts.
