Guy walked into the office, asking stuff about importing contacts from a CSV file in outlook. I could only offer a blank stare, as I use Emacs as my email client (on my linux laptop). And the two MacOS users couldn't help either.
I might have a diploma in computer science, but that doesn't imply I know anything about your email client. 😂

His problem was the following: he wants to import those contacts into a subdirectory of his contacts, not into the root.

hmm - I've never used a subdirectory of contacts (just tried it out of curiosity, and couldn't get the contacts to export reliably). TBH I barely trust Outlook, mobile phones or anything else similar to reliably store important contacts (without splitting the email/phone numbers and other info), I grew up in the days when Filofaxes were still common and there are times when I seriously consider starting to use mine again..
@cweickhmann @daniel
its supposedly fairly straightforward (I did even export a CSV from my outlook to see if it worked, and I got a valid CSV file), but I haven't tried importing data yet as I don't want to risk hosing the data that is already in my profile (and its unclear what happens if there are any errors in the CSV file)
