Importing / Exporting Contacts and Groups

Export your Contacts and Groups to share with another user or to import into Microsoft Outlook. Specific "csv" file format is required for proper importing into the IMail Web Client. See Exporting Contacts from Outlook.

Warning: Exporting a "csv" file from a different mail client will not import correctly without modifying the column format. It is recommended to only export from the IMail Web Client and import into another user's IMail Web Client. See CSV file format.
