How to export Outlook contacts to Android ?

I used to keep all my contacts on Outlook and today I wanted to sync all my contacts with my Android phone and i could not find a easy way to do it. Finally found a easy work around.

1. Open Outlook -> Select Contacts -> Select all contacts (Ctrl + A) -> Right Click -> Send As Business Card
2. This will popup a new email message window with all the contacts attached.
3. Save all the contacts to a folder.
4. Plug Android phone to PC - Select Disk Drive
5. copy above folder into android SD Card.
6. Open People/Contacts in android.
7. Press Menu Key -> Select Import from SD Card. This will look for all the vCard files in the phone.
8. Then you can select import all or one by one.

good luck

  4. Drag and drop all contacts from outlook to any windows folder - it will create MSG files, then mass rename MSG to VCF, with cmd command: ren *.msg *.vcf

    thats it.

  9. Microsoft offer us very beneficial personal data supervisor name Microsoft Outlook that is part of Microsoft Office suite.
    even though regularly used specifically as an e-mail software, it is also a calendar, task manager, contact manager,
    note taking, journal, and internet surfing.
