Why Outlook Adds vCards One at a Time
Four facts from Microsoft about getting vCard files into Outlook. PCVITA software closes all four gaps.
- 1
Outlook Adds vCards One by One
Microsoft's page on vCard import says to add vCards one by one and describes no bulk method. PCVITA vCard Importer loads a full folder and imports every contact in one job.
- 2
Every vCard Needs Save and Close
Microsoft's steps end with Save & Close in the contact window and ask you to repeat the steps for every vCard in a message. PCVITA software replaces that loop with one Export click.
- 3
The Contacts Folder Route Asks About Every Contact
Microsoft's iCloud article imports a VCF file from the Windows Contacts folder and prompts you to confirm every contact. PCVITA tool previews all contacts first and imports the ones you select.
- 4
That Route Ends With a CSV File
The same article exports the contacts to CSV and then sends you to a separate guide to import the CSV into Outlook. PCVITA software saves VCF contacts straight into a PST file or profile.
Prepare Your VCF Files Before You Import
Six checks before your first import. Tick the list before you open the software.
- Gather your VCF files in one folder on your PC. Phone exports and address book exports both work.
- Install and configure Outlook on the same PC. Saving to PST files and profiles needs it.
- Free the PST file. Close it in every other application before you import into it.
- Add Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or a newer release to your PC.
- Choose the target before you start. Select between a fresh data file, a data file you own already or your profile.
- Test the free demo with your own VCF files before you buy. Download the demo edition and import 10 contacts.
