It is only possible to import contacts from a vCard file. A vCard format file (or VCF, Virtual Contact File) is a file with a specific format mainly used as an electronic business card.

Export Contacts

Exporting contacts allows you to save a file in vCard or .ldif format containing all the contacts of a specific address book to your device. This file is useful when importing contacts from an old provider to a new provider.

Exporting contacts from the previous provider

Many mail providers allow the export of contacts in vCard (or VCF, Virtual Contact File) format, a file with a specific format mainly used as an electronic business card.

You can export contacts directly to vCard from your previous provider by going to Contacts or Address Book or Tools > Export Contacts (in vCard format). These include Thunderbird, Roundcube, Google, etc. For further information, please consult the documentation of your previous provider.

Other mail providers such as Outlook allow the export of contacts in .ldif format. In this case, you will have to install a software on your device that converts the file from .ldif to vCard.

The formats supported when exporting are vCard or .ldif

Contact List

A list is a collection of contacts to which you can send e-mail messages without having to enter the recipients individually. When composing a message you can directly enter a list by typing the name of the list into the recipient field. If you enter the list, the email addresses of all members of that list will automatically appear.

Another action that can be performed with a contact list is to share it by sending it as an email attachment.

Contacts

Lists are closely linked to address books: only contacts belonging to the same address book may be included in a list.

To create a list, log into Webmail > Contacts > locate the address book in which the contacts to be added to the list are located and in the right-hand section locate the Lists section > click on + New List

Choose a List Name for the list you wish to create and add the contacts by typing the name or email address in the Add members field.

You will be allowed to add up to 150 contacts per list you create and you can delete or add contacts to your list at any time. Finally, click Save to proceed.

You will be able to find your list within the address book, in the relevant section.

Manage a List

You can manage your lists by accessing Webmail > Contacts > Select the address book in which the list is located > move to the Lists section and select the list.
