1395050 2015-02-24 22:18:00 Is there any simple way to copy the 'Contacts' over from one PC to another?

I know, I can use the 'Export' feature to generate a .pst file and import it to the other PC but I just wish to know whether is there any other ways?

Cheers

1395051 2015-02-24 22:25:00 Sure, you can save each one individually then re-import them. Or email each one to the other pc
Or use some sort of 3rd party tool/addon that syncs via the cloud

Export to a pst is the best way, just choose only contacts on the export. Its also the simplest way, unless you only have a few
Autocomplete email address store is a different story , some call that the contacts (it isnt) . Thats where you type the first letter of a adress
& it pops up with recent email adresses. If you want that(autocomplete), it depends on what ver of Outlook on both PC's

1395052 2015-02-25 00:13:00 Yeap export is the best method. You could just export to a CSV doesn't need to be a PST. Alex B (15479)

CSV is better, think of it as a spreadsheet with names, addresses and any other info you have on the person, can be opened and read as long as you have a spreadsheet reader/program. PST is a file that needs to be open via Outlook, or a PST reader.

1395057 2015-02-25 21:12:00 CSV vs PST - pros and cons?

If going from outlook on 1 pc to Outlook on 2nd PC...
PST is by far the best & easiest option.

If going from Outlook to something else, then CSV. You may need to play with it a bit (mapping the feilds)

"But the CSV files that these applications produce might not contain all of the supported contact fields. For example, when Outlook exports to a CSV file, it omits data including attachments, distribution lists, contact pictures, the "file as" field, the "alias" field, and text formatting in the "notes" field. Google Contacts doesn’t have a way to know what was omitted, so we suggest that you manually copy over any important information in these fields after you import your contacts."
