when importing outlook contacts how can the STMP addition be ommi
When I copy contacts from Outlook on my workstation in CVS format and import
these copied contacts onto Outlook on my notebook in the process of copying STMP lines /additions with names are automatically added, rendering the whole contact database useless until these STMP additions are manually deleted again. What can I do i.e. setting filters and if so which filters in the copying process? Any constructive suggestion is very much appreciated. Thank you

Why would you use a foreign file format and import to transfer Outlook data?
Why would you not use an Outlook data file? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Kristian" wrote in message news  When I copy contacts from Outlook on my workstation in CVS format and import these copied contacts onto Outlook on my notebook in the process of copying STMP lines /additions with names are automatically added, rendering the whole contact database useless until these STMP additions are manually deleted again.

I will have to find out, whether it works. Would have thought that Excel or
CVS are commonly used and schould universally do the trick. The question though is, why and where are these STMP additions created and why? Will come back with results a.s.a.p.

No answer is possible without knowing what your data source was and how you
mapped your fields. No one should ever transfer Outlook data by exporting and importing through a different format unless they want to lose or alter that data, as you are illustrating. You should only use Outlook's native data file format to transfer data, but again without using export and import. Just copy the data file and open it in the other installation. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Kristian" wrote in message ... I will have to find out, whether it works.

Sorry Russ to bother you again... In practical use I now noted it doesn't work:
1) A seperate Contacts Folder was created in Outlook (Identical thought to the original from my Office workstation). 2) After having moved the contacts into the original Contact folder it seemed to be o.k. but wasn't: If you try to create an Outlook Distribution list, and you want to add members it tell theat there are no addresses in the contact list, despite there are nearly 1,500...?? Question: have I done something wrong, or is there something wron with Outlook?? Can you put your finger on this one? Looking forward to hearing from you in due course regards Kristian p.s. I still don't understand as to why MS offers the option of importing and exporting, if one cant use it due to the objections you had and as to why and where in the im/exporting process data is added, that doesn't belong there?

What was the original source of these DL's? Were they created in the Active
Directory? No one knows why the option to import and export Outlook data still exists. It did work back in Outlook 97, but it hasn't worked for so long now that it should have been removed long ago. I suspect it is with many other things in Outlook. Removing a dysfunctional feature takes more work than just leaving it in, so they just leave it in. Pretty sloppy if you ask me, but they don't. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Kristian" wrote in message ... Sorry Russ to bother you again...

when importing outlook contacts how can the STMP addition be o
#1) If the objective is to get your contacts from one machine to another and
you have access to the source PST file, simply copy your PST file to the target machine, open the PST file on the 2nd machine and copy whatever info you need from one folder to another (make sure to take off the read-only attribute after you've copied the PST file to the 2nd machine if necessary). Import/export is definitely not recommended for purely moving native Outlook info between two machines regardless of data format used. As for the original SMTP question, all depends whether or not you actually mapped the email TYPE when importing especially if the email addresses being imported are not of the SMTP type ). #2) As for PST2PST importing/exporting - that can, in and of itself, lead to either (or both) immediate and/or future issues and in my opinion should be avoided at all costs unless there is some real pressing need/purpose (which is something I've yet to encounter under normal circumstances). This is especially true if the contact info has been upgraded over multiple versions of Outlook over the years. The creation of a new folder when doing PST2PST import/export is the way that process works.
