Exporting your address book from Outlook XP
Until ChoiceMail provides automatic support for Outlook XP, below are instructions you can follow to export your contact list from Outlook XP into ChoiceMail. DigiPortal Software cannot warrant that the process below will work and you should also consult your Outlook XP documentation.



Step 1) Assuming you have Outlook XP open, click on File and select the option Import and Export



Step 2) When the wizard appears, select "Export to a file" and press Next.

 

Step 3) Select Comma Separated Values (Windows) as the export format and press Next.

 

Step 4) If you get this message, you will need to install the feature into Outlook XP so click Yes to continue. If you already have the feature installed, skip to Step 6

 

Step 5) You may need your Office XP CD to install the feature. On some systems, the CD image may be preinstalled - check your system documentation if you are unsure.

 

Step 6) When the "Export to a file" window appears, select Contacts and press Next.

 

Step 7) Select a folder and filename to store the exported contact list. You can use any name you wish but you must remember WHERE you stored the file so that you can find it again when you import the file into ChoiceMail.


 

Step 8) Click Finish to begin the export process.

 
Step 9) Open ChoiceMail, if it is not already open, then click on Actions | Import Address Book... to begin the importation process.
